Enzyme Information

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.
