In enzymology an acylpyruvate hydrolase (EC 3.7.1.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactiona 3-acylpyruvate + H2O a carboxylate + pyruvateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 3-acylpyruvate and water whereas its two products are carboxylate and pyruvate.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on carbon-carbon bonds in ketonic substances. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-acylpyruvate acylhydrolase.
