👉 Hydrases are a type of enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of water. They are found in many tissues and play important roles in various biological processes, including nutrient transport, pH regulation, and signaling pathways. The specific mechanism by which these enzymes work is not fully understood, but it is thought to involve the transfer of protons from a proton-poor substrate (such as water) to a proton-rich substrate (like glucose).
