In enzymology a guanidinoacetase (EC 3.5.3.2) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionguanidinoacetate + H2O glycine + ureaThus the two substrates of this enzyme are guanidinoacetate and H2O whereas its two products are glycine 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 guanidinoacetate amidinohydrolase.
