In enzymology, a methenyltetrahydromethanopterin cyclohydrolase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 5,10-methenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin + H2O 5-formyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 5,10-methenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin and H2O, whereas its product is 5-formyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydromethanopterin. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in cyclic amidines. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5,10-methenyltetrahydromethanopterin 10-hydrolase (decyclizing). Other names in common use include 5,10-methenyltetrahydromethanopterin cyclohydrolase, N5,N10-methenyltetrahydromethanopterin cyclohydrolase, and methenyl-H4MPT cyclohydrolase. This enzyme participates in folate biosynthesis. References EC 3.5.4 Enzymes of unknown structure
