Aliphatic aldoxime dehydratase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, an aliphatic aldoxime dehydratase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

an aliphatic aldoxime $\rightleftharpoons$ an aliphatic nitrile + H₂O

This dehydratase converts an aldoxime on an aliphatic substrate to a nitrile as the product structure with water as byproduct.

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the "catch-all" class of lyases that do not fit into any other sub-class. The systematic name of this enzyme class is aliphatic aldoxime hydro-lyase (aliphatic-nitrile-forming). Other names in common use include OxdA, and aliphatic aldoxime hydro-lyase.
