EC number

3.5.2.6

Accepted name

β-lactamase

Reaction

a β-lactam + H₂O = a substituted β-amino acid

Other name(s)

penicillinase, cephalosporinase, neutrapen, penicillin β-lactamase, exopenicillinase, ampicillinase, penicillin amido-β-lactamhydrolase, penicillinase I, penicillinase II, β-lactamase I, β-lactamase II, β-lactamase III, β-lactamase A, β-lactamase B, β-lactamase C, β-lactamase AME I, cephalosporin-β-lactamase, carbapenemase

Systematic name

β-lactam hydrolase

CAS registry number

9073-60-3

Comment

A group of enzymes of varying specificity hydrolysing β-lactams; some act more rapidly on penicillins, some more rapidly on cephalosporins. The latter were formerly listed as EC 3.5.2.8, cephalosporinase.

History

created 1961, modified 1981 (EC 3.5.2.8 created 1972, incorporated 1978)
