In enzymology, a formimidoylaspartate deiminase (EC 3.5.3.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

N-formimidoyl-L-aspartate + H2O N-formyl-L-aspartate + NH3

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-formimidoyl-L-aspartate and H2O, whereas its two products are N-formyl-L-aspartate and NH3.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amidines. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N-formimidoyl-L-aspartate iminohydrolase. This enzyme is also called formiminoaspartate deiminase. This enzyme participates in histidine metabolism.

Nucleotides are organic molecules composed of a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar and a phosphate. They serve as monomeric units of the nucleic acid polymers – deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), both of which are essential biomolecules within all life-forms on Earth. Nucleotides are obtained in the diet and are also synthesized from common nutrients by the liver.

The urea cycle (also known as the ornithine cycle) is a cycle of biochemical reactions that produces urea (NH2)2CO from ammonia (NH3). Animals that use this cycle, mainly amphibians and mammals, are called ureotelic.
