In enzymology, a diguanidinobutanase (EC 3.5.3.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 1,4-diguanidinobutane + H2O agmatine + urea
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are and H2O, whereas its two products are agmatine and urea.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amidines. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1,4-diguanidinobutane amidinohydrolase.
