In [[enzymology]], an '''arylalkyl acylamidase''' ({{EC number|3.5.1.76}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:N-acetylarylalkylamine + H<sub>2</sub>O <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> arylalkylamine + acetate

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[N-acetylarylalkylamine]] and [[water|H<sub>2</sub>O]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[arylalkylamine]] and [[acetate]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[hydrolase]]s, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''N-acetylarylalkylamine amidohydrolase'''. This enzyme is also called '''aralkyl acylamidase'''.
