EC	3.1.2.21
Accepted name:	dodecanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydrolase
Reaction:	a dodecanoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] + H2O = an [acyl-carrier protein] + dodecanoate
Other name(s):	lauryl-acyl-carrier-protein hydrolase; dodecanoyl-acyl-carrier-protein hydrolase; dodecyl-acyl-carrier protein hydrolase; dodecanoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] hydrolase; dodecanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydrolase
Systematic name:	dodecanoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] hydrolase
Comments:	Acts on the acyl-carrier-protein thioester of C12 and, with a much lower activity, C14 fatty acids. The derivative of oleic acid is hydrolysed very slowly (cf. EC 3.1.2.14, oleoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydrolase).
