Comments [?]

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY	Reaction=2 H(+) + H2O + urea = CO2 + 2 NH4(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:20557, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16199, ChEBI:CHEBI:16526, ChEBI:CHEBI:28938; EC=3.5.1.5;
case <FTGroup:1> and <FTGroup:2>
COFACTOR	Name=Ni cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:25516; Note=Binds 2 nickel ions per subunit.;
end case
PATHWAY	Nitrogen metabolism; urea degradation; CO(2) and NH(3) from urea (urease route): step 1/1.
case <OC:Campylobacterales>
SUBUNIT	Heterohexamer of 3 UreA (alpha) and 3 UreB (beta) subunits.
else case <OC:Deinococcus> or <OC:Sulfolobus>
SUBUNIT	Heterohexamer of 3 UreC (alpha) and 3 UreAB (gamma/beta) subunits.
else case <OS:Pseudomonas syringae> or <OC:Streptomyces>
SUBUNIT	May form a heterohexamer of 3 UreC (alpha) and 3 UreAB (gamma/beta) subunits. May also form a heterotrimer of UreA (gamma), UreB (beta) and UreC (alpha) subunits. Three heterotrimers associate to form the active enzyme.
else
SUBUNIT	Heterotrimer of UreA (gamma), UreB (beta) and UreC (alpha) subunits. Three heterotrimers associate to form the active enzyme.
end case
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION	Cytoplasm.
case <FT:4>
PTM	Carboxylation allows a single lysine to coordinate two nickel ions.
end case
SIMILARITY	Belongs to the metallo-dependent hydrolases superfamily. Urease alpha subunit family.
case <OC:Campylobacterales>
CAUTION	The orthologous protein is known as the alpha subunit (UreC) in most other bacteria.
