In enzymology a hydroxyisourate hydrolase (EC 3.5.2.17) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction5-hydroxyisourate + H2O 5-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-ureido-25-dihydro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 5-hydroxyisourate and H2O whereas its product is 5-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-ureido-25-dihydro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds specifically in cyclic amides.
