Phenylacetyl-CoA hydrolase

The enzyme phenylacetyl-CoA hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.25) catalyzes the reaction

phenylglyoxylyl-CoA + H₂O ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ phenylglyoxylate + CoA

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phenylglyoxylyl-CoA hydrolase.
