Identification
HMDB Protein ID HMDBP12570
Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Ornithine transcarbamylase, mitochondrial
Synonyms
  1. OTCase
  2. Ornithine carbamoyltransferase, mitochondrial
Gene Name OTC
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Catalyzes the second step of the urea cycle, the condensation of carbamoyl phosphate with L-ornithine to form L-citrulline (PubMed:2290837). The urea cycle ensures the detoxification of ammonia by converting it to urea for excretion (PubMed:2290837).
Pathways
