id: GO:0016790
name: thiolester hydrolase activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False

Description: Catalysis of the reaction: RCO-SR' + H2O = RCOOH + HSR'. This reaction is the hydrolysis of a thiolester bond, an ester formed from a carboxylic acid and a thiol (i.e., RCO-SR'), such as that found in acetyl-coenzyme A.
