Carnitinamidase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a carnitinamidase (EC 3.5.1.73) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-carnitinamide + H₂O L-carnitine + NH₃

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are L-carnitinamide and H₂O, whereas its two products are L-carnitine and NH₃.

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 L-carnitinamide amidohydrolase. Other names in common use include L-carnitinamidase, carnitine amidase, and L-carnitine amidase.
