The reaction occurs as follows: Urea + H2O → carbon dioxide + ammonium In 1926 James Sumner shows that urease is a protein. Urease is found in bacterium, yeast and several higher plants. Characteristics: * Molecular weight : 480 Atomic_mass_unit * Optimum pH : 7.4 * Enzymatic specificity: urea and hydroxyurea * Inhibitors : heavy metals, sodium, potassium A specific urease (which may be used in diagnosis) occurs in ''Helicobacter pylori''.
