Belongs to a family of enzymes that share a few characteristics. They hydrolyse peptidic bonds in substrates that share a common structure, they are dependent on cobalt or zinc for their activity and they are proteins of 40 Kd to 60 Kd with a number of regions of sequence similarity. As signature patterns for these proteins, it has been selected two of the conserved regions. The first pattern contains a conserved histidine which could be involved in binding metal ions and the second pattern contains a number of conserved charged residues. Also belongs to the family yhe enzyme acetylornithine deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.16).
