Ammonia (urease) producing microbes
Metabolic
Research Use Only
The microbial enzyme urease breaks down the compound urea, a nitrogen waste product created by the body, into ammonia. The role of gut bacteria that produce the enzyme urease is currently not well understood.
Marker summary
The enzyme urease breaks down urea into ammonia. The role of microbial urease remains unclear.
What are emerging markers?
The emerging markers provides microbial markers which have historically been of clinical interest. These markershave an emerging evidence base leading to uncertainty around their role in human health.All emerging markers are tagged Research Use Only.
