PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/3.1.1.59
Accepted Name
juvenile-hormone esterase
Alternative Name(s)
JH esterase
methyl-(2E,6E)-(10R,11S)-10,11-epoxy-3,7,11-trimethyltrideca-2,6-dienoate acylhydrolase
Reaction catalysed
  • juvenile hormone I + H2O = juvenile hormone I carboxylate + methanol + H(+)
  • juvenile hormone III + H2O = juvenile hormone III carboxylate + methanol + H(+)
Comment(s)
