Pentanamidase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a pentanamidase (EC 3.5.1.50) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

pentanamide + H₂O pentanoate + NH₃

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are pentanamide and H₂O, whereas its two products are pentanoate 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 pentanamide amidohydrolase. This enzyme is also called valeramidase.
