N-acyl-D-aspartate deacylase

In enzymology, a N-acyl-D-aspartate deacylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * N-acyl-D-aspartate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ a carboxylate + D-aspartate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-acyl-D-aspartate and H2O, whereas its two products are carboxylate and D-aspartate.

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-acyl-D-aspartate amidohydrolase. It employs one cofactor, zinc.
