This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds in linear amides. The
systematic name of this enzyme class is peptidoglycan amidohydrolase. Other names in common use include acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase, N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase, N-acylmuramyl-L-alanine amidase, acetylmuramoyl-alanine amidase, N-acetylmuramic acid L-alanine amidase, acetylmuramyl-alanine amidase, N-acetylmuramylalanine amidase, N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase type I, and N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase type II. This enzyme participates in
peptidoglycan biosynthesis.
Autolysins and some phage
lysins are examples of N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidases.
