Identification
NameMedium-chain fatty acid ethyl ester synthase/esterase 2
Synonyms
  • Alcohol O-acetyltransferase
  • Ethanol hexanoyl transferase 1
Gene NameEHT1
Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in carboxylesterase activity
Specific FunctionDisplays enzymatic activity both for medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA) ethyl ester synthesis and hydrolysis (esterase activity). MCFA are toxic for yeast and this enzyme could thus be involved in their detoxification by esterification
