DESCRIPTION

Also known as AHNL_LINUS, AHNL. Involved in the catabolism of cyanogenic glycosides. Naturally occurring substrates are the aliphatic acetone cyanohydrin and butan-2-one cyanohydrin, which are the aglycones of the cyanogenic glycosides linamarin, lotaustralin, linustatin and neolinustatin. Can use various aliphatic ketones and aldehydes as substrates, but not aromatic ketones. Homodimer.
