Cyclohexyl-isocyanide hydratase

Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme cyclohexyl-isocyanide hydratase (Template:EnzExplorer) catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-cyclohexylformamide $\rightleftharpoons$ cyclohexyl isocyanide + H₂O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-cyclohexylformamide hydro-lyase (cyclohexyl-isocyanide-forming). Other names in common use include isonitrile hydratase, and N-cyclohexylformamide hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in caprolactam degradation.
