Pyrimidine Degradation Nucleotide Metabolism · Cytosol

step 10 Irreversible/directional

N-Carbamyl-beta-alanine → beta-alanine

Converts N-Carbamyl-beta-alanine into beta-Alanine

› Notes

Beta-ureidopropionase catalyzes N-carbamyl-beta-alanine + H2O → beta-alanine + NH3 + CO2. This completes the uracil-derived ring-carbon/nitrogen disposal sequence.

step 11 Irreversible/directional

N-Carbamyl-beta-aminoisobutyrate → beta-aminoisobutyrate

Converts N-Carbamyl-beta-aminoisobutyrate into beta-Aminoisobutyrate

› Notes

Beta-ureidopropionase catalyzes N-carbamyl-beta-aminoisobutyrate + H2O → beta-aminoisobutyrate + NH3 + CO2.
