EC 3.5.1.46

Accepted name: 6-aminohexanoate-dimer hydrolase

Reaction: N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate + H2O = 2 6-aminohexanoate

Other name(s): 6-aminohexanoic acid oligomer hydrolase

Systematic name: N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate amidohydrolase

Comments: Also hydrolyses oligomers of 6-aminohexanoate containing up to six residues, but more slowly; the residues are removed sequentially from the N-terminus.
