Maleimide hydrolase (EC 3.5.2.16) is an enzyme characterised from a Blastobacter species that catalyzes the hydrolysis of maleimide to maleamic acid:

 
H2O

This is a hydrolase, one acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in cyclic amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cyclic-imide amidohydrolase (decyclizing). Other names in common use include imidase, cyclic imide hydrolase, and cyclic-imide amidohydrolase (decyclicizing) [misprint].
