Aspartoacylase (EC 3.5.1.15, aminoacylase II, N-acetylaspartate amidohydrolase, acetyl-aspartic deaminase, acylase II) is a hydrolase enzyme with system name N-acyl-L-aspartate amidohydrolase.,[1][2] which breaks down N-acetylaspartate. A deficiency is associated with Canavan disease.This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

N-acyl-L-aspartate + H2O \rightleftharpoons a carboxylate + L-aspartate
