N-carbamoyl-L-amino-acid hydrolase

UniProtKB accession:  Q6DTN4

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  May be involved in the asymmetric conversion of racemic 5-substituted hydantoins to the corresponding L-amino acids. Catalyzes specifically the conversion of N-carbamoyl-L-amino acids to free L-amino acids in an irreversible reaction. N-carbamoyl-L-methionine is the best substrate. HyuC of R.meliloti is the first L-N-carbamoylase that hydrolyzes N-carbamoyl-L-tryptophan as well as N-carbamoyl-L-amino acids with aliphatic substituents.
