Urethanase
Definition:
EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.5 Acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds, other than peptide bonds > 3.5.1 In linear amides > 3.5.1.75 urethanase
Arylalkyl acylamidase is a hydrolase identified in Pseudomonas putida, with strict specificity for N-acetyl arylalkylamines including N-acetyl-2-phenylethylamine, N-acetyl-3-phenylpropylamine, N-acetyldopamine, N-acetylserotonin and melatonin; it also accepts arylalkyl acetates but not acetanilide derivatives (substrates of EC 3.5.1.13). It hydrolyzes N-acetylarylalkylamine into arylalkylamine and acetate. In the bacterium it degrades acetylated biogenic amines. It features an amidase fold.
