Definition 1
A gene that encodes an enzyme capable of catalyzing the hydrolysis of chemical bonds. (NCI Thesaurus)
Definition 2
Hydrolase Genes encode members of the enzyme class (EC class 3) that catalyze substrate cleavage with the addition of water to the resulting molecules at the point of cleavage, e.g., esterases, glycosidases (glycoside hydrolases), lipases, nucleotidases, peptidases (peptide hydrolases), and phosphatases (phosphoric monoester hydrolases).
