H2PO4
 

The enzyme converts oxamic acid to oxaluric acid, with inorganic phosphate as a byproduct. [1] [2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases that transfer one-carbon groups, specifically the carboxy- and carbamoyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is carbamoyl-phosphate:oxamate carbamoyltransferase. This enzyme is also called oxamic transcarbamylase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
