In enzymology, a N-carbamoylsarcosine amidase (EC 3.5.1.59) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- N-carbamoylsarcosine + H2O sarcosine + CO2 + NH3
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-carbamoylsarcosine and H2O, whereas its 3 products are sarcosine, 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-carbamoylsarcosine amidohydrolase. This enzyme is also called carbamoylsarcosine amidase. This enzyme participates in arginine and proline metabolism.
Structural studies[edit]
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1NBA.
