3-cyanoalanine hydratase
The enzyme 3-cyanoalanine hydratase catalyzes the chemical reaction
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 L-asparagine hydro-lyase . Other names in common use include β-cyanoalanine hydrolase, β-cyanoalanine hydratase, β-CNAla hydrolase, β-CNA nitrilase, and L-asparagine hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in cyanoamino acid metabolism.
