based on mapping to UniProt Q6U6J0
(1) Cis-stilbene oxide + H(2)O = (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diol. (2) 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-methyl-N-((3-methyloxetan-3- yl)methyl)methanamine + H(2)O = 2-((((4-methoxyphenyl)methyl)(methyl)amino)methyl)-2-methylpropane-1,3- diol.
-!- This is a key hepatic enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolytic ring opening of oxiranes (epoxides) and oxetanes to give the corresponding diols. -!- The enzyme is involved in the metabolism of numerous substrates including the stereoselective hydrolytic ring opening of 7-oxabicyclo(4.1.0)hepta-2,4-dienes (arene oxides) to the corresponding trans-dihydrodiols. -!- The reaction proceeds via a triad mechanism and involves the formation of an hydroxyalkyl-enzyme intermediate. -!- Five epoxide-hydrolase enzymes have been identified in vertebrates to date: EC 3.3.2.6, EC 3.3.2.7, EC 3.3.2.9, EC 3.3.2.10 and EC 3.3.2.11.
