Enables the directed movement of an amide, any compound containing one, two, or three acyl groups attached to a nitrogen atom, from one side of the membrane to the other. Enables the transfer of a specific substance or group of related substances from one side of a membrane to the other. Catalysis of facilitated diffusion of urea (by an energy-independent process) involving passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism. Enables the directed movement of urea cross a membrane into, out of, within or between cells. Urea is the water soluble compound H2N-CO-NH2, produced in the liver via the ornithine-urea cycle. It is the main nitrogen-containing (urinary) excretion product in ureotelic animals. Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + H2O + urea(out) = ADP + phosphate + urea(in).
