Structural highlights

Function

ALLE_ECOLI Involved in the anaerobic nitrogen utilization via the assimilation of allantoin. Catalyzes the second stereospecific hydrolysis reaction (deamination) of the allantoin degradation pathway, producing S-ureidoglycolate and ammonia from S-ureidoglycine.^{[1] [2]}
