4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA thioesterase

The enzyme 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA thioesterase (EC 3.1.2.23) catalyzes the reaction

4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA + H₂O ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ 4-hydroxybenzoate + CoA

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name is 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA hydrolase. This enzyme participates in 2,4-dichlorobenzoate degradation.
