(S)-N-acetyl-1-phenylethylamine hydrolase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a (S)-N-acetyl-1-phenylethylamine hydrolase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-acetylphenylethylamine + HTemplate:SubO $\rightleftharpoons$ phenethylamine + acetate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-acetylphenylethylamine and [[water|HTemplate:SubO]], whereas its two products are phenethylamine and acetate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (S)-N-acetylphenylethylamine:HTemplate:SubO hydrolase. At least one compound, phenylmethanesulfonylfluoride is known to inhibit this enzyme.
