Enables hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in linear amides. Involved in several processes, including amide biosynthetic process; cellular amide catabolic process; and negative regulation of neuron death. Located in extracellular exosome.

Peptidase M20 domain containing 1 is a circulating enzyme which in humans is encoded by the PM20D1 gene. PM20D1 regulates bioactive N-acyl amide lipids and has been implicated in obesity, type 2 diabetes, pain, and Alzheimer's disease.

== Function == PM20D1 catalyzes the biosynthesis of N-fatty acyl amino acids from free fatty acids and free amino acids. Consequently PM20D1 is involved in the generation of potent bioactive lipid metabolites from two abundant cellular energy precursors.
