In enzymology a hippurate hydrolase (EC 3.5.1.32) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionhippurate + H2O benzoate + glycineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are hippurate and H2O whereas its two products are benzoate 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-benzoylamino-acid amidohydrolase.
