In [[enzymology]], a '''S-succinylglutathione hydrolase''' ({{EC number|3.1.2.13}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:S-succinylglutathione + H<sub>2</sub>O <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> glutathione + succinate

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[S-succinylglutathione]] and [[water|H<sub>2</sub>O]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[glutathione]] and [[succinate]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[hydrolase]]s, specifically those acting on [[thioester]] bonds.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''S-succinylglutathione hydrolase'''.
