In enzymology a xylono-14-lactonase (EC 3.1.1.68) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionD-xylono-14-lactone + H2O D-xylonateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are D-xylono-14-lactone and H2O whereas its product is D-xylonate.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-xylono-14-lactone lactonohydrolase.
