In enzymology a glutamin-(asparagin-)ase (EC 3.5.1.38) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-glutamine + H2O L-glutamate + NH3Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are L-glutamine and H2O whereas its two products are L-glutamate and NH3.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 L-glutamine(L-asparagine) amidohydrolase.
