In enzymology an urea carboxylase (EC 6.3.4.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + urea + HCO3- ADP + phosphate + urea-1-carboxylateThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP urea and HCO3- whereas its 3 products are ADP phosphate and urea-1-carboxylate (allophanate).This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming generic carbon-nitrogen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is urea:carbon-dioxide ligase (ADP-forming).
