Arylalkyl acylamidase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, an arylalkyl acylamidase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-acetylarylalkylamine + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ arylalkylamine + acetate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-acetylarylalkylamine and H₂O, whereas its two products are arylalkylamine 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 N-acetylarylalkylamine amidohydrolase. This enzyme is also called aralkyl acylamidase.
