EC 3.5.3.12 Details
EC number
3.5.3.12
Accepted name
agmatine deiminase
Reaction
agmatine + H2O = N-carbamoylputrescine + NH3
Other name(s)
agmatine amidinohydrolase
Systematic name
agmatine iminohydrolase
CAS registry number
37289-17-1
Comment
The plant enzyme also catalyses the reactions of EC 2.1.3.3 (ornithine carbamoyltransferase), EC 2.1.3.6 (putrescine carbamoyltransferase) and EC 2.7.2.2 (carbamate kinase), thus functioning as a putrescine synthase, converting agmatine and ornithine into putrescine and citrulline, respectively.
