The enzyme methylumbelliferyl-acetate deacetylase (EC 3.1.1.56, esterase D) catalyzes the reaction

4-methylumbelliferyl acetate + H2O {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } 4-methylumbelliferone + acetate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name is 4-methylumbelliferyl-acetate acylhydrolase. This enzyme is also called esterase D.
