Alanine carboxypeptidase (EC 3.4.17.6, N-benzoyl-L-alanine-amidohydrolase) is an enzyme.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Release of a C-terminal alanine from a peptide or a variety of pteroyl or acyl groups

This enzyme is isolated from soil bacteria. The enzyme from Corynebacterium equi also hydrolyses N-benzoylglycine and N-benzoyl-L-aminobutyric acid.
