In enzymology, a fusarinine-C ornithinesterase (EC 3.1.1.48) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N5-acyl-L-ornithine ester + H2O N5-acyl-L-ornithine + an alcohol

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

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N5-acyl-L-ornithine-ester hydrolase. Other names in common use include ornithine esterase, and 5-N-acyl-L-ornithine-ester hydrolase.
