Protein attributes

Sequence length	173 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Uncertain

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Catalyzes the stereoselective decarboxylation of 2-oxo-4-hydroxy-4-carboxy-5-ureidoimidazoline (OHCU) to (S)-allantoin Potential.
Catalytic activity	5-hydroxy-2-oxo-4-ureido-2,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate = (S)-allantoin + CO2.
Pathway	Purine metabolism; urate degradation; (S)-allantoin from urate: step 3/3.
Subcellular location	Peroxisome Potential.
Tissue specificity	Apparently not expressed. Ref.2
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the OHCU decarboxylase family.
Caution	Could be the product of a pseudogene. In primates the genes coding for the enzymes for the degradation of uric acid were inactivated and converted to pseudogenes (Ref.2).
