ENZYME entry: EC 3.5.1.14

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/3.5.1.14
Accepted Name
N-acyl-aliphatic-L-amino acid amidohydrolase
Alternative Name(s)
acylase I
aminoacylase 1
aminoacylase I
benzamidase
dehydropeptidase II
hippuricase
histozyme
N-acyl-L-amino-acid amidohydrolase
Reaction catalysed
  • an N-acyl-L-amino acid + H2O = an L-alpha-amino acid + a carboxylate
  • an N-acetyl-L-cysteine-S-conjugate + H2O = an S-substituted L-cysteine + acetate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is found in animals and is involved in the hydrolysis of N-acylated or N-acetylated amino acids (except L-aspartate).
  • It acts on mercapturic acids (S-conjugates of N-acetyl-L-cysteine) and neutral aliphatic N-acyl-alpha-amino acids.
  • Some bacterial aminoacylases demonstrate substrate specificity of both EC 3.5.1.14 and EC 3.5.1.114. cf. EC 3.5.1.15 and EC 3.5.1.114.
