4Q7Q is a homodimeric protein complex that originates from the bacterial species Chitinophaga Pinensis and has a mass of 58.5 kDa. It is a member of the SGNH Hydrolase Superfamily with structural and sequential similarities to esterases and lipases. Current evidence suggests it causes the hydrolysis of esters and/or acetyl groups on lipids/lipid-like molecules via a catalytic triad-like active site. | 4Q7Q is a homodimeric protein complex that originates from the bacterial species Chitinophaga Pinensis and has a mass of 58.5 kDa.

The role of the chloride cofactor was not investigated thoroughly. Chloride ion was present in all reaction conditions, so it's independence was not tested. A future experiment would be testing the functionality of the enzyme without chloride in solution compared to with chloride ion. | The role of the chloride cofactor was not investigated thoroughly.
