In enzymology a 5′-acylphosphoadenosine hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction5′-acylphosphoadenosine + H2O AMP + a carboxylateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 5′-acylphosphoadenosine and H2O whereas its two products are AMP and carboxylate.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides.
