In

enzymology, a ricinine nitrilase (EC 3.5.5.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

ricinine + 2 H2O 3-carboxy-4-methoxy-N-methyl-2-pyridone + NH3

Thus, the two

substrates of this enzyme are ricinine and H2O, whereas its two products are 3-carboxy-4-methoxy-N-methyl-2-pyridone and NH3
.

This enzyme belongs to the family of

nitrogen metabolism
