Members of the SGNH-hydrolase superfamily, a diverse family of lipases and esterases. The tertiary fold of the enzyme is substantially different from that of the alpha/beta hydrolase family and unique among all known hydrolases; its active site closely resembles the Ser-His-Asp(Glu) triad from other serine hydrolases, but may lack the carboxlic acid. Myxobacterial members of this subfamily have been reported to be involved in adventurous gliding motility.
