In enzymology, a 5'-acylphosphoadenosine hydrolase (EC 3.6.1.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

5'-acylphosphoadenosine + H2O AMP + a carboxylate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are and H2O, whereas its two products are AMP and carboxylate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5'-acylphosphoadenosine acylhydrolase. This enzyme is also called 5-phosphoadenosine hydrolase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
