Allantoate deiminase


In enzymology, an allantoate deiminase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are allantoate and H2O, whereas its 3 products are ureidoglycine, NH3, and CO2.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amidines. The systematic name of this enzyme class is allantoate amidinohydrolase . This enzyme is also called allantoate amidohydrolase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
