In enzymology, an enamidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 6-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinate and H<sub>2</sub>O, whereas its two products are 2-formylglutarate and NH<sub>3</sub>.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in cyclic amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 6-oxo-1,4,5,6-tetrahydronicotinate amidohydrolase.
