Nameallantoin catabolism to glyoxalate and urea
TypeMETAPATH
Description(S)-allantoin ([(4S)-2,5-dioxoimidazolidin-4-yl]urea) is a breakdown product of urate and may be obtained by an endogenous urate catabolism pathway or by transport from the environment. Catabolism of allantoate consists of a three-step pathway resulting in glyoxalate. This is further processed to tartronate semi-aldehyde (2-hydroxy-3-oxopropanoate) and subsequently to either phyosphoglycerate or glycoaldehyde (in the pathway to the pyridoxine component of vitamin B6). Since many pathways result in glyoxalate, this genome property terminates at that compound although the downsream enzymes may be grouped into apparent operons in many organisms (i.e. E. coli). Degradation of allantoin results in the production of two molecules of urea which may be excreted or used as a source of ammonia in urease-containing organisms.
