N-acetyl-beta-alanine deacetylase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a N-acetyl-beta-alanine deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.21) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- N-acetyl-beta-alanine + H2O acetate + beta-alanine
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-acetyl-beta-alanine and H2O, whereas its two products are acetate and beta-alanine.
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-acetyl-beta-alanine amidohydrolase. This enzyme participates in beta-alanine metabolism.
