FunFam 19: Aminoacylase 1

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
N-acyl-aliphatic-L-amino acid amidohydrolase. [EC: 3.5.1.14]
(1) An N-acyl-aliphatic-L-amino acid + H(2)O = an aliphatic L-amino acid + a carboxylate. (2) An N-acetyl-L-cysteine-S-conjugate + H(2)O = an L-cysteine-S- conjugate + acetate.
  • The enzyme is found in animals and is involved in the hydrolysis of N-acylated or N-acetylated amino acids (except L-aspartate).
  • It acts on mercapturic acids (S-conjugates of N-acetyl-L-cysteine) and neutral aliphatic N-acyl-alpha-amino acids.
  • Some bacterial aminoacylases demonstrate substrate specificity of both EC 3.5.1.14 and EC 3.5.1.114.
  • Cf. EC 3.5.1.15 and EC 3.5.1.114.
