Ureidoglycolate hydrolase
In enzymology, an ureidoglycolate hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (S)-ureidoglycolate and H2O, whereas its 3 products are glyoxylate, 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 -ureidoglycolate amidohydrolase . This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
