Description
The enzyme is involved in degradation of nylon-6 oligomers. It degrades linear or cyclic oligomers of poly(6-aminohexanoate) with a degree of polymerization greater than three (n > 3) by endo-type cleavage, to oligomers of a length of two or more (2 ≤ x < n). It shows negligible activity with N-(6-aminohexanoyl)-6-aminohexanoate (cf. EC 3.5.1.46, 6-aminohexanoate-oligomer exo hydrolase) or with 1,8-diazacyclotetradecane-2,9-dione (cf. EC 3.5.2.12, 6-aminohexanoate-cyclic-dimer hydrolase).
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.

Reaction
[N-(6-aminohexanoyl)]n + H2O = [N-(6-aminohexanoyl)]n-x + [N-(6-aminohexanoyl)]x
