English term or phrase: nicotinamide deamidase
Nicotinamide nucleotides present in the intestinal
lumen are not absorbed as such, but are hydrolyzed
to free nicotinamide. Many intestinal bacteria
have high nicotinamide deamidase activity, and
a signifi cant proportion of dietary nicotinamide
may be deamidated in the intestinal lumen. Both
nicotinic acid and nicotinamide are absorbed from
the small intestine by a sodium-dependent saturable
process.

Explanation:
En la nomenclatura química, el nombre correcto para la enzima que cataliza la escisión hidrolítica del enlance C–N en una carboxamida no es ‘desamidasa’ (¡y mucho menos deamidasa!), sino amidasa.
