Formimidoylglutamase (formiminoglutamase), the fourth enzyme of histidine degradation, is similar to arginases and agmatinases. It catalyzes the formation of glutamate and formamide from N-formimidoyl-L-glutamate. It is often encoded near other enzymes of the histidine degradation pathway: histidine ammonia-lyase, urocanate hydratase, and imidazolonepropionase.
