The two substrates of this enzyme are (-)-ureidoglycolic acid and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are oxaluric acid, reduced NADH, and a proton. This enzyme can use the alternative cofactor, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (S)-ureidoglycolate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB: 1WTJ​ and PDB: 1XRH​.
