Term Name:	enoyl-CoA hydratase activity
Synonyms:	(3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyase activity, 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase activity, 2-octenoyl coenzyme A hydrase activity, 3-hydroxy-fatty acyl-CoA dehydratase, 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase, acyl coenzyme A hydrase activity, beta-hydroxyacid dehydrase activity, beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrase activity, enol-CoA hydratase activity, enoyl coenzyme A hydrase (D), enoyl hydrase activity, short-chain enoyl-CoA hydratase activity, unsaturated acyl-CoA hydratase activity
Definition:	Catalysis of the reaction: a 3-hydroxy-fatty acyl-CoA = a enoyl-CoA + H2O. This reaction usually occurs in the reverse direction, leading to the reduction of the double bound of enoyl-CoA in position 2 or 3. Specific reactions catalyzed include: a 4-saturated-(3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA = a (3E)-enoyl-CoA + H2O and a (3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA = a (2E)-enoyl-CoA + H2O.
