Dihydroorotase (EC 3.5.2.3, carbamoylaspartic dehydrase, dihydroorotate hydrolase) is an enzyme which converts carbamoyl aspartic acid into 4,5-dihydroorotic acid in the biosynthesis of pyrimidines.[1][2] It forms a multifunctional enzyme with carbamoyl phosphate synthetase and aspartate transcarboymalase.
