id: GO:0000257
name: nitrilase activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: Catalysis of the reaction: a nitrile + H2O = a carboxylate + NH3. Acts on a wide range of aromatic nitriles including (indole-3-yl)-acetonitrile and some aliphatic nitriles, and on the corresponding acid amides.
