'''Epoxide hydrolase''' (EH) converts epoxides to trans-dihydrodiols which are excreted from the body. Thus, EH acts as a detoxification agent. Epoxides are formed from degradation of aromatic compounds<ref>PMID:18585390</ref>.<br /> '''Bifunctional EH 2''' or '''soluble EH''' (SEH) is a bifunctional enzyme with the C-terminal domain having EH activity and the N-terminal domain having lipid phosphatase activity.<br /> '''Limonene-1,2-epoxide hydrolase''' catalyzes the conversion of limonene-1,2-epoxide to limonene-1,2-diol<ref>PMID:12773375</ref> . | '''Epoxide hydrolase''' (EH) converts epoxides to trans-dihydrodiols which are excreted from the body.
