N-acetylornithine carbamoyltransferase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a N-acetylornithine carbamoyltransferase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- carbamoyl phosphate + N2-acetyl-L-ornithine phosphate + N-acetyl-L-citrulline
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are carbamoyl phosphate and N2-acetyl-L-ornithine, whereas its two products are phosphate and N-acetyl-L-citrulline.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases that transfer one-carbon groups, specifically the carboxy- and carbamoyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is carbamoyl-phosphate:N2-acetyl-L-ornithine carbamoyltransferase. Other names in common use include acetylornithine transcarbamylase, N-acetylornithine transcarbamylase, AOTC, and carbamoyl-phosphate:2-N-acetyl-L-ornithine carbamoyltransferase.
Structural studies
