11-cis-retinyl-palmitate hydrolase

Class of enzymes 11-cis-retinyl-palmitate hydrolase 3.1.1.63 0047520 The enzyme 11-cis-retinyl-palmitate hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.63) catalyzes the reaction 11-cis-retinyl palmitate + H2O 11-cis-retinol + palmitate This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name is 11-cis-retinyl-palmitate acylhydrolase. Other names in common use include 11-cis-retinol palmitate esterase, and RPH. This enzyme participates in retinol metabolism. This enzyme has at least one effector, Bile salt.
