Function
[CAH_PSESD] Responsible for the hydrolysis of cyanuric acid, an intermediate formed during catabolism of s-triazine based compounds in herbicides such as atrazine and polymers such as melamine. Catalyzes the hydrolytic opening of the s-triazine ring of cyanuric acid (2,4,6-trihydroxy-s-triazine) to yield carbon dioxide and carboxybiuret, which spontaneously decarboxylates to biuret.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01989][1]
