EC 3.5.1.138

Accepted name: lipoamidase

Reaction: a [lipoyl-carrier protein]-N6-[(R)-lipoyl]-L-lysine + H2O = a [lipoyl-carrier protein]-L-lysine + (R)-lipoate

Other name(s): pyruvate dehydrogenase inactivase

Systematic name: [lipoyl-carrier protein]-N6-[(R)-lipoyl]-L-lysine amidohydrolase

Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Enterococcus faecalis, is a member of the Ser-Ser-Lys triad amidohydrolase family. cf. EC 2.3.1.313, NAD-dependent lipoamidase.
