What are the enzymes involved in hydrolysis reactions?

The enzymes involved in hydrolysis reactions are called hydrolytic enzymes. These enzymes use water to catalyze the hydrolysis of various bonds such as glycosidic, peptide, carbon-carbon, P-N, ether, ester, and carbon-halide bonds. 

Some of the most common hydrolytic enzymes include:

• Lipase: Lipase is involved in catalyzing the hydrolysis of fats. Lysosomal lipase digests cholesterol and lipids to free fatty acids. Pancreatic lipase hydrolyzes triglycerides to monoglycerides and two fatty acids. 
• Amylase: Amylase is a type of glycoside hydrolases. It plays a role in catalyzing the hydrolysis of starch into sugars, disaccharides, and trisaccharides. Salivary amylase converts starch to maltose, and starch to disaccharides. 
• Protease: Protease catalyzes the breakdown of proteins into single amino acids and smaller peptides. Pepsin, which is a protease, converts proteins to proteoses and peptones. Trypsin and chymotrypsin convert partially hydrolyzed proteins to dipeptides. 
• Phosphatase: Phosphatase catalyzes the elimination of phosphate moiety from the substrate. Nucleotidase, which is a phosphotase, catalyzes the hydrolysis of nucleotides to nucleosides.
