3.1.1.112 |
Accepted name: |
isoamyl acetate esterase |
Reaction: |
3-methylbutyl acetate + H2O = 3-methylbutanol + acetate |
Other name(s): |
IAH1 (gene name) |
Systematic name: |
3-methylbutyl acetate acetohydrolase |
Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, hydrolyses acetate esters. It acts preferentially on 3-methylbutyl acetate, a major determinant of sake flavor. |
