Alkylamidase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, an alkylamidase (EC 3.5.1.39) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-methylhexanamide + H₂O hexanoate + methylamine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-methylhexanamide and H₂O, whereas its two products are hexanoate and methylamine.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-methylhexanamide amidohydrolase.
