N-formylmaleamate deformylase (EC 3.5.1.106, NicD) is an enzyme with systematic name N-formylmaleamic acid amidohydrolase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

N-formylmaleamic acid + H2O [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] maleamate + formate

The reaction is involved in the aerobic catabolism of nicotinic acid.
