Allantoinase is the enzyme that hydrolyzes allantoin into allantoate. In yeast , it is the first enzyme in the allantoin degradation pathway; in amphibians and fishs it catalyzes the second step in the degradation of uric acid. The sequence of allantoinase is evolutionary related to that of DHOase (EC 3.5.2.5).
