The enzyme hydroxybutyrate-dimer hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.22) catalyzes the reaction

(R)-3-((R)-3-hydroxybutanoyloxy)butanoate + H2O {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } 2 (R)-3-hydroxybutanoate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name is (R)-3-((R)-3-hydroxybutanoyloxy)butanoate hydroxybutanoylhydrolase. The enzyme is also called D-(–)-3-hydroxybutyrate-dimer hydrolase. It participates in butanoate metabolism.
