In enzymology, a formimidoylglutamase (EC 3.5.3.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are N-formimidoyl-L-glutamate and H2O, whereas its two products are L-glutamate and formamide.
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-glutamate formimidoylhydrolase. Other names in common use include formiminoglutamase, N-formiminoglutamate hydrolase, and N-formimino-L-glutamate formiminohydrolase. This enzyme participates in histidine metabolism.
As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1XFK and 2A0M.

A ureohydrolase is a type of hydrolase enzyme. The ureohydrolase superfamily includes arginase, agmatinase, formiminoglutamase and proclavaminate amidinohydrolase. These enzymes share a 3-layer alpha-beta-alpha structure, and play important roles in arginine/agmatine metabolism, the urea cycle, histidine degradation, and other pathways.
