Native Porcine Acylase I
In enzymology, an aminoacylase (EC 3.5.1.14) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:N-acyl-L-amino acid + H2O↔ carboxylate + L-amino acid. Thus, the two substRates of this enzyme are N-acyl-L-amino acid and H2O, whereas its two products are carboxylate and L-amino acid. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. This enzyme participates in urea cycle and metabolism of amino groups.

Applications
Acylase I from porcine kidney has been used to study the acylase I-catalyzed deacetylation of various S-alkyl-N-acetyl-L-cysteines and their carbon and oxygen analogues. Acylase I may be useful to catalyze N-acetyl amino acids to enantiomerically pure L-amino acids.
