In enzymology a hydroxybutyrate-dimer hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.22) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(R)-3-((R)-3-hydroxybutanoyloxy)butanoate + H2O 2 (R)-3-hydroxybutanoateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-3-((R)-3-hydroxybutanoyloxy)butanoate and H2O whereas its product is (R)-3-hydroxybutanoate.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds.
