| Accepted name: |
2-oxoglutaramate amidase |
| Reaction: |
2-oxoglutaramate + H2O = 2-oxoglutarate + NH3 |
| Glossary: |
2-oxoglutaramate = 2-ketoglutaramate = 5-amino-2,5-dioxopentanoate |
| Other name(s): |
ω-amidase (ambiguous) |
| Systematic name: |
5-amino-2,5-dioxopentanoate amidohydrolase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, which is highly specific for its substrate, participates in the nicotine degradation pathway of several Gram-positive bacteria. |
