| Name | medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase activity |
| ID | GO_0052815 |
| collection_id | Molecular function |
| Description | Catalysis of the reaction: a medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA + H2O = a medium-chain fatty acid + CoA + H+. A medium-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 6 to 12 carbons. |
| Related synonym | medium-chain acyl coenzyme A hydrolase activity, medium-chain acyl-thioester hydrolase activity, medium-chain hydrolase activity, medium-chain-acyl-CoA hydrolase activity |
| Comment | While there is not universal consensus on the lengths of short-, medium-, long- and very-long-chain fatty acids, the GO uses the definitions in ChEBI (see CHEBI:26666, CHEBI:59554, CHEBI:15904 and CHEBI:27283). |
