Enzyme Commission Number
EC 3.5.3.21
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
methylenediurea + 2 H2O = N-(hydroxymethyl)urea + 2 NH3 + CO2 (overall reaction)
(1a) methylenediurea + H2O = N-(carboxyaminomethyl)urea + NH3
(1b) N-(carboxyaminomethyl)urea = N-(aminomethyl)urea + CO2 (spontaneous)
(1c) N-(aminomethyl)urea + H2O = N-(hydroxymethyl)urea + NH3 (spontaneous)
Systematic Name
methylenediurea aminohydrolase
Function
Methylenediurea is hydrolysed and decarboxylated to give an aminated methylurea, which then spontaneously hydrolyses to hydroxymethylurea. The enzyme from Ochrobactrum anthropi also hydrolyses dimethylenetriurea and trimethylenetetraurea as well as ureidoglycolate, which is hydrolysed to urea and glyoxylate, and allantoate, which is hydrolysed to ureidoglycolate, ammonia and carbon dioxide.
Other name
methylenediurease
