Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme
In enzymology, an ureidosuccinase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate + H2O L-aspartate + CO2 + NH3
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate and H2O, whereas its 3 products are L-aspartate, CO2, and NH3.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-carbamoyl-L-aspartate amidohydrolase. This enzyme participates in alanine and aspartate metabolism.[1]
