In enzymology a juvenile-hormone esterase (EC 3.1.1.59) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionmethyl (2E6E)-(10R11S)-1011-epoxy-3711-trimethyltrideca-26-dienoate + H2O (2E6E)-(10R11S)-1011-epoxy-3711-trimethyltrideca-26-dienoate + methanolThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are methyl (2E6E)-(10R11S)-1011-epoxy-3711-trimethyltrideca-26-dienoate and H2O whereas its two products are (2E6E)-(10R11S)-1011-epoxy-3711-trimethyltrideca-26-dienoate and methanol.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds.
