KEGG   ENZYME: 3.4.17.6
Entry
EC 3.4.17.6                 Enzyme                                 
Name
alanine carboxypeptidase;
N-benzoyl-L-alanine-amidohydrolase
Class

Metallocarboxypeptidases
Reaction(IUBMB)
Release of a C-terminal alanine from a peptide or a variety of pteroyl or acyl groups
Comment
From soil bacteria. The enzyme from Corynebacterium equi also hydrolyses N-benzoylglycine and N-benzoyl-L-aminobutyric acid.
