The enzyme cyanide hydratase (EC 4.2.1.66) catalyzes the chemical reaction

formamide cyanide + H2O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is formamide hydro-lyase (cyanide-forming). Other names in common use include formamide dehydratase, and formamide hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in cyanoamino acid metabolism.
