Protein name

RecName: Full=Urease subunit gamma; EC=3.5.1.5; AltName: Full=Urea amidohydrolase subunit gamma;

Gene name

ureA

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Urea + H(2)O = CO(2) + 2 NH(3).

PATHWAY: Nitrogen metabolism; urea degradation; CO(2) and NH(3) from urea (urease route): step 1/1.

SUBUNIT: Heterotrimer of ureA (gamma), ureB (beta) and ureC (alpha) subunits. Three heterotrimers associate to form the active enzyme (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the urease gamma subunit family.
