In [[enzymology]], a '''succinyl-diaminopimelate desuccinylase''' ({{EC number|3.5.1.18}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:N-succinyl-LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate + H<sub>2</sub>O <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> succinate + LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[N-succinyl-LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate]] and [[water|H<sub>2</sub>O]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[succinate]] and [[LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[hydrolase]]s, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides.  The [[List of enzymes|systematic name]] of this enzyme class is '''{{chem name|N-succinyl-LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate amidohydrolase}}'''. This enzyme is also called '''{{chem name|N-succinyl-L-alpha,epsilon-diaminopimelic acid deacylase}}'''.  This enzyme participates in [[lysine biosynthesis]].
