Aliphatic aldoxime dehydratase

In enzymology, an aliphatic aldoxime dehydratase (EC number|4.99.1.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:an aliphatic aldoxime $ightleftharpoons$ an aliphatic nitrile + H₂O

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, aliphatic aldoxime, and two products, aliphatic nitrile and H₂O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the "catch-all" class of lyases that do not fit into any other sub-class. The systematic name of this enzyme class is aliphatic aldoxime hydro-lyase (aliphatic-nitrile-forming). Other names in common use include OxdA, and aliphatic aldoxime hydro-lyase.
