- Beta-ureidopropionase
In
enzymology , a beta-ureidopropionase (EC number|3.5.1.6) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine + H2O beta-alanine + CO2 + NH3
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine and H2O, whereas its 3 products arebeta-alanine , CO2, and NH3.This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolase s, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine amidohydrolase. This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways:pyrimidine metabolism ,beta-alanine metabolism , andpantothenate and coa biosynthesis .tructural studies
As of late 2007, 6 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB link|1R3N, PDB link|1R43, PDB link|2V8D, PDB link|2V8G, PDB link|2V8H, and PDB link|2V8V.
