IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 3.5.1.30

Accepted name: 5-aminopentanamidase

Reaction: 5-aminopentanamide + H2O = 5-aminopentanoate + NH3

Other name(s): 5-aminovaleramidase; 5-aminonorvaleramidase

Systematic name: 5-aminopentanamide amidohydrolase

Comments: The enzyme from Pseudomonas putida also acts on 4-aminobutanamide and, more slowly, on 6-aminohexanamide.
