Domain Context

CATH Clusters

Superfamily Aspartate/ornithine carbamoyltransferase
Functional Family N-acetylornithine carbamoyltransferase

Enzyme Information

2.1.3.9
N-acetylornithine carbamoyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q8A1E9
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.
