Add experiment(s):


Arginine decarboxylase:
L-arginine + H+→agmatine + CO2 (EC 4.1.1.19)
ABID97_RS16535
Agmatinase:
agmatine + H2O→putrescine + urea (EC 3.5.3.11)
ABID97_RS21560

Candidate genes for each reaction are identified from best hits to MetaCyc; by matching EC numbers (which are assigned by TIGRFam, SEED, or best hits to KEGG); or by matching SEED roles to KEGG reactions to MetaCyc reactions. See the "Protein" tab of each gene for more information
