Protein
Omega-amidase NIT3
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Has a omega-amidase activity. The role of omega-amidase is to remove potentially toxic intermediates by converting 2-oxoglutaramate and 2-oxosuccinamate to biologically useful 2-oxoglutarate and oxaloacetate, respectively.
Similarity
Belongs to the carbon-nitrogen hydrolase superfamily. NIT1/NIT2 family.
