In enzymology, a beta-ureidopropionase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine + H2O \rightleftharpoons beta-alanine + CO2 + NH3
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-carbamoyl-beta-alanine and H2O, whereas its 3 products are beta-alanine, CO2, and NH3.
