In enzymology a dihydropyrimidinase (EC 3.5.2.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction56-dihydrouracil + H2O 3-ureidopropanoateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 56-dihydrouracil and H2O whereas its product is 3-ureidopropanoate.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds specifically in cyclic amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 56-dihydropyrimidine amidohydrolase.
