Comments [?]

Function	Catalyzes the hydration of cyanide to formamide. Degradation of cyanide may be important for plant pathogenic fungi in infection of cyanogenic plants.
Catalytic activity	RHEA:21720: formamide = H2O + hydrogen cyanide EC 4.2.1.66
Induction	By cyanide.
Subunit	Oligomer of dimers, forming left-handed helical fibers.
Similarity	Belongs to the carbon-nitrogen hydrolase superfamily. Nitrilase family.
