N-carbamoyl-L-amino-acid hydrolase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a N-carbamoyl-L-amino-acid hydrolase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-carbamoyl-L-2-amino acid (a 2-ureido carboxylate) + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ L-2-amino acid + NH₃ + CO₂

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-carbamoyl-L-2-amino acid and H₂O, whereas its 3 products are L-2-amino acid, NH₃, and CO₂.

This enzyme belongs to the subfamily of hydrolases which act on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-carbamoyl-L-amino acid amidohydrolase.
