ENZYME entry: EC 3.1.1.55
| Accepted Name |
|---|
| Acetylsalicylate deacetylase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| Aspirin esterase. |
| Reaction catalysed |

| Acetylsalicylate + H(2)O <=> salicylate + acetate |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Not identical with EC 3.1.1.1, EC 3.1.1.2, EC 3.1.1.7 or EC 3.1.1.8.
- The activity of the liver cytosol enzyme is highest with acetyl
esters of aryl alcohols, and thioesters are also hydrolyzed.
- The microsomal enzyme also hydrolyzes some other negatively charged
esters.
- Best substrates were esters of salicylate with long-chain alcohols.
