Common Name

Urea

Description

Urea, also known as ur or carbamide, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ureas. Ureas are compounds containing two amine groups joined by a carbonyl (C=O) functional group. Urea is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Urea exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, urea participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, urea can be converted into urea through the action of the enzyme urea transporter 2. In addition, urea can be converted into urea; which is mediated by the enzyme urea transporter 2. In humans, urea is involved in torsemide action pathway. Outside of the human body, Urea is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow). Urea has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as thistles, kai-lans, red raspberries, biscuits, and black crowberries. This could make urea a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Urea is a potentially toxic compound. A carbonyl group with two C-bound amine groups. Urea is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.

Enzyme Details

1. Arginase-1

General function:: Involved in arginase activity
Specific function:: Not Available
Gene Name:: ARG1
Uniprot ID:: P05089
Molecular weight:: 34734.655

Enzyme Details

2. Arginase-2, mitochondrial

General function:: Involved in arginase activity
Specific function:: May play a role in the regulation of extra-urea cycle arginine metabolism and also in down-regulation of nitric oxide synthesis. Extrahepatic arginase functions to regulate L-arginine bioavailability to NO synthase. Since NO synthase is found in the penile corpus cavernosum smooth muscle, the clitoral corpus cavernosum and the vagina, arginase II plays a role in both male and female sexual arousal. It is therefore a potential target for the treatment of male and female sexual arousal disorders.
Gene Name:: ARG2
Uniprot ID:: P78540
Molecular weight:: 38577.515

Enzyme Details

3. Carbonic anhydrase 2

General function:: Involved in carbonate dehydratase activity
Specific function:: Essential for bone resorption and osteoclast differentiation (By similarity). Reversible hydration of carbon dioxide. Can hydrate cyanamide to urea. Involved in the regulation of fluid secretion into the anterior chamber of the eye.
Gene Name:: CA2
Uniprot ID:: P00918
Molecular weight:: 29245.895

Enzyme Details

4. Catenin beta-1

General function:: Involved in binding
Specific function:: Involved in signal transduction through the Wnt pathway. Nuclear beta-catenin it involved in transcriptional regulation by association with transcription factors of the TCF/LEF family
Gene Name:: CTNNB1
Uniprot ID:: P35222
Molecular weight:: 85495.9

5. Agmatinase, mitochondrial

General function:: Involved in agmatinase activity
Specific function:: Not Available
Gene Name:: AGMAT
Uniprot ID:: Q9BSE5
Molecular weight:: 37660.065

Enzyme Details

6. Probable allantoicase

General function:: Involved in allantoicase activity
Specific function:: The function of this enzyme is unclear as allantoicase activity is not known to exist in mammals.
Gene Name:: ALLC
Uniprot ID:: Q8N6M5
Molecular weight:: 43558.25

Enzyme Details

7. HERV-K_5q33.3 provirus ancestral Pro protein

General function:: Involved in nucleic acid binding
Specific function:: Retroviral proteases have roles in processing of the primary translation products and the maturation of the viral particle. Endogenous Pro proteins may have kept, lost or modified their original function during evolution. This endogenous protein has retained most of the characteristics of retroviral proteases
Gene Name:: Not Available
Uniprot ID:: P10265
Molecular weight:: 17107.6

Transporters

Enzyme Details

1. Urea transporter 2

General function:: Involved in urea transmembrane transporter activity
Specific function:: Specialized low-affinity vasopressin-regulated urea transporter. Mediates rapid transepithelial urea transport across the inner medullary collecting duct and plays a major role in the urinary concentrating mechanism.
Gene Name:: SLC14A2
Uniprot ID:: Q15849
Molecular weight:: 101207.965
