A revised nomenclature for mammalian acyl-CoA thioesterases/hydrolases
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 Acyl-CoA thioesterases, also known as acyl-CoA hydrolases, are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze CoA esters such as acyl-CoAs (saturated, unsaturated, branched-chain), bile acid-CoAs, CoA esters of prostaglandins, etc., to the corresponding free acid and
