Acyl-CoA thioesterase 2 also known as ACOT2 is an enzyme which in humans is encoded by the ACOT2 gene.Acyl-CoA thioesterases such as ACOT2 are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze Coenzyme A (CoA) esters such as acyl-CoAs bile CoAs and CoA esters of prostaglandins to the corresponding free acid and CoA.ACOT2 shows high acyl-CoA thioesterase activity on medium- and long-chain acyl-CoAs with an optimal pH of 8.5.
