In enzymology a formimidoylglutamase (EC 3.5.3.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionN-formimidoyl-L-glutamate + H2O L-glutamate + formamideThus the two substrates of this enzyme are N-formimidoyl-L-glutamate and H2O whereas its two products are L-glutamate and formamide.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds specifically in linear amidines.
