Superfamily Aspartate/ornithine carbamoyltransferase
Functional Family Complete genome, strain B100

Enzyme Information

2.1.3.3
Ornithine carbamoyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8P8J2
Carbamoyl phosphate + L-ornithine = phosphate + L-citrulline.
-!- The plant enzyme also catalyzes the reactions of EC 2.1.3.6, EC 2.7.2.2 and EC 3.5.3.12, thus acting as putrescine synthase, converting agmatine and ornithine into putrescine and citrulline respectively.
2.1.3.9
N-acetylornithine carbamoyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8P8J2
Carbamoyl phosphate + N(2)-acetyl-L-ornithine = phosphate + N-acetyl-L- citrulline.
-!- Differs from EC 2.1.3.3. -!- This enzyme replaces EC 2.1.3.3 in the canonic arginine biosynthetic pathway of several eubacteria and has no catalytic activity with L-ornithine as substrate.
