In enzymology, an aliphatic aldoxime dehydratase (EC 4.99.1.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

an aliphatic aldoxime an aliphatic nitrile + H2O

This dehydratase converts an aldoxime on an aliphatic substrate to a nitrile as the product structure with water as byproduct.

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the "catch-all" class of lyases that do not fit into any other sub-class. The systematic name of this enzyme class is aliphatic aldoxime hydro-lyase (aliphatic-nitrile-forming). Other names in common use include OxdA, and aliphatic aldoxime hydro-lyase.
