Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme 3-cyanoalanine hydratase (Template:EnzExplorer) catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-asparagine 3-cyanoalanine + H2O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-asparagine hydro-lyase (3-cyanoalanine-forming). Other names in common use include β-cyanoalanine hydrolase, β-cyanoalanine hydratase, β-CNAla hydrolase, β-CNA nitrilase, and L-asparagine hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in cyanoamino acid metabolism.
