:oxaloacetate + H<sub>2</sub>O <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> oxalate + acetate

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[oxaloacetate]] and [[water|H<sub>2</sub>O]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[oxalate]] and [[acetate]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[hydrolase]]s, specifically those acting on carbon-carbon bonds in ketonic substances. The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''oxaloacetate acetylhydrolase'''. This enzyme is also called '''oxalacetic hydrolase'''.
