Acylamino acid deacylase obtained from kidney tissue catalyzed the hydrolysis of long chain N-acylamino acids. The acyl radical most susceptible to the enzymatic hydrolysis was lauroyl or myristoyl group for valine and phenylalanine. It seems that the effect of pH on the enzyme activity for N-palmitoyl-L-aspartic acid is different from that for other palmitoyl-amino acids.
