NCBI Sequence numbers for nitrile hydratase and nitrilase to 27/2.16

Looking at the bare search term "nitrile hydratase" amongst protein sequences (and remember, most aren’t but it’s a rough measure), today gives me 10224 hits, of which 4117 were RefSeq data. 
There are 80688 sequences labelled as "nitrilase" (not sure how robust that is currently), of which 20872 are pegged as RefSeq data.

In enzymology, nitrile hydratases (NHases; EC 4.2.1.84) are mononuclear iron or non-corrinoid cobalt enzymes that catalyse the hydration of diverse nitriles to their corresponding amides: R-C≡N + H2O → R-C(O)NH2. Nitrile Hydratase
