ENTRY       EC 3.5.1.76
NAME        Arylalkyl acylamidase
CLASS       Hydrolases
            Acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds, other than peptide bonds
            In linear amides
REACTION    N-Acetylarylalkylamine + H2O = Arylalkylamine + Acetate
SUBSTRATE   N-Acetylarylalkylamine
            H2O
PRODUCT     Arylalkylamine
            Acetate
COMMENT     Strict specificity for N-Acetyl arylalkylamines, including
            N-Acetyl-2-phenylethylamide, N-Acetyl-3-phenylpropylamine,
            N-Acetyldopamine, N-Acetylserotonin and Melatonin. It also
            accepts Arylalkyl acetates but not Acetanilide derivatives,
            which are common substrates of Aryl acylamidase
            (EC 3.5.1.13).
