The enzyme was purified 232-fold to homogeneity with a recovery of 30\% in the presence of 2 mM dithiothreitol. The specific activity of the enzyme was 7.88 U/mg protein. The enzyme is a dimer with a native molecular mass of 67 kDa and a subunit relative molecular mass of 38 kDa. The isoelectric point of the enzyme was found to be 5.83. The K(m) values for N-carbamoyl-dl-methionine and N-carbamoyl-d-phenylglycine were 3.84 and 5.0 mM, respectively.} }
