N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid hydrolase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid hydrolase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ D-amino acid + NH₃ + CO₂

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-carbamoyl-D-amino acid and H₂O, whereas its 3 products are D-amino acid, NH₃, and CO₂.

This enzyme belongs to the subfamily of hydrolases which act on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides.
