| Other name(s): |
ureidoglycolate hydrolase; UAH (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
(S)-ureidoglycolate amidohydrolase (decarboxylating) |
| Comments: |
This plant enzyme is involved in the degradation of ureidoglycolate, an intermediate of purine degradation. Not to be confused with EC 4.3.2.3, ureidoglycolate lyase, which releases urea rather than ammonia. |
