== Overview ==


The '''Human soluble Epoxyde Hydroxylase''' ('''hsEH''') is a homodimeric protein as well as a bifunctional enzyme, which is made of 555 aminoacids and can be found in the cytoplasm and in peroxisomes of humans. It belongs to the “Hydrolase” enzyme family.  This enzyme has two functions: an epoxide hydrolase function on its C-term domain, which consists in the hydrolysis of epoxides into glycols, and a phosphatase function on its N-term domain, which consists in cleaving a phosphate group from a dihydroxy lipid phosphate.
