- N-amidino-L-aspartate + H2O L-aspartate + urea
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-amidino-L-aspartate and H2O, whereas its two products are L-aspartate and urea.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amidines. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-amidino-L-aspartate amidinohydrolase. This enzyme is also called amidinoaspartic amidinohydrolase.
