In enzymology a carnosine synthase (EC 6.3.2.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + L-histidine + beta-alanine AMP + diphosphate + carnosineThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP L-histidine and beta-alanine whereas its 3 products are AMP diphosphate and carnosine.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases).
