In enzymology an alkylamidase (EC 3.5.1.39) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionN-methylhexanamide + H2O hexanoate + methylamineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are N-methylhexanamide and H2O whereas its two products are hexanoate and methylamine.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-methylhexanamide amidohydrolase.
