Biological function summary
Ornithine carbamoyltransferase plays a significant role in detoxifying ammonia by forming citrulline an important urea cycle intermediate. The protein functions as a homotrimer meaning three identical subunits form an active enzyme complex. This multimeric state facilitates efficient substrate processing allowing effective handling of nitrogen waste. The integral role of OTC in the urea cycle highlights its importance in maintaining systemic nitrogen balance.
Pathways
OTC is a central component of the urea cycle and influences nitrogen metabolism pathways. These pathways include the conversion of ammonia to urea an important detoxifying process for safe excretion by the kidneys. OTC closely interacts with enzymes such as argininosuccinate synthetase highlighting the coordinated action required to advance urea formation. Understanding OTC's participation within these pathways helps identify its regulatory points and the potential impact of genetic variations.

General info
Function
Catalyzes the second step of the urea cycle, the condensation of carbamoyl phosphate with L-ornithine to form L-citrulline (PubMed : 2556444, PubMed : 6372096, PubMed : 8112735). The urea cycle ensures the detoxification of ammonia by converting it to urea for excretion (PubMed : 2556444).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the aspartate/ornithine carbamoyltransferase superfamily. OTCase family.
Post-translational modifications
Acetylation at Lys-88 negatively regulates ornithine carbamoyltransferase activity in response to nutrient signals.
