Application
Creatinine Deiminase microbial has been used:
to immobilize aminosilylated glass beads based biosensor for ammonia/ammonium and creatinine detection in urine
in creating creatinine-sensing membrane for biophysical studies
to investigate the bioelectronic tongue for the simultaneous determination of urea, creatinine and alkaline ions in clinical samples

Creatinine deiminase has been used in a study to assess the application of a creatinine-sensitive biosensor for hemodialysis control. Creatinine deiminase has also been used in a study to investigate the bioelectronic tongue for the simultaneous determination of urea, creatinine and alkaline ions in clinical samples.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Creatinine deiminase catalyzes the hydrolysis of creatinine to methylhydantoine and ammonia.
Physical form
Lyophilized powder containing mannitol as stabilizer
Other Notes
One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of creatinine to N-methylhydantoin and NH3 per min at pH 7.5 at 37 °C in a coupled system with L-glutamic dehydrogenase.
