Gene name

ureA

Protein name

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

Gene name

ureAB

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: Heterohexamer of 3 ureA (alpha) and 3 ureB (beta) subunits (By similarity).

SUBUNIT: Heterohexamer of 3 ureC (alpha) and 3 ureAB (gamma/beta) subunits (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: In the N-terminal section; belongs to the urease gamma subunit family.

SIMILARITY: In the C-terminal section; belongs to the urease beta subunit family.

CAUTION: The orthologous protein is known as the gamma/beta subunit (ureAB) in most other bacteria.
