N-feruloylglycine deacylase explained

N-feruloylglycine deacylase
Ec Number:	3.5.1.71
Cas Number:	118731-84-3
Go Code:	0050128

In enzymology, a N-feruloylglycine deacylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-feruloylglycine + H₂O

\rightleftharpoons ferulate + glycine

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-feruloylglycine and H₂O, whereas its two products are ferulate and glycine.

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-feruloylglycine amidohydrolase. This enzyme is also called N-feruloylglycine hydrolase.
