BP

nitrogen compound metabolic process

The chemical reactions and pathways involving organic or inorganic compounds that contain nitrogen.

GO:0009446

BP

putrescine biosynthetic process

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of putrescine, 1,4-diaminobutane; putrescine can be synthesized from arginine or ornithine and is the metabolic precursor of spermidine and spermine.

GO:0016810

MF

hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of any carbon-nitrogen bond, C-N, with the exception of peptide bonds.

GO:0033388

BP

putrescine biosynthetic process from arginine

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of putrescine, 1,4-diaminobutane, from other compounds, including arginine.

GO:0050126

MF

N-carbamoylputrescine amidase activity

Catalysis of the reaction: N-carbamoylputrescine + H(2)O + 2 H(+) = CO(2) + NH(4)(+) + putrescine.
