Application

Creatine amidinohydrolase is a clinically important enzyme used in the determination of creatinine in blood and urine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Creatinase is a homodimer with subunit molecular weights of approximately 45 kDa. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of creatine, in the presence of H2O, to form urea and sarcosine.

Unit Definition

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of creatine to urea and sarcosine per min at pH 7.5 at 37 °C.
