The enzyme oleate hydratase (EC 4.2.1.53) catalyzes the chemical reaction

(R)-10-hydroxystearate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] oleate + H2O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (R)-10-hydroxystearate 10-hydro-lyase (oleate-forming). This enzyme is also called (R)-10-hydroxystearate 10-hydro-lyase.
