| EC Number | 6.3.4.16 |
| CAS Registry Number | 9026-23-7 |
| Comments | The enzyme catalyses the first committed step in the urea cycle. The reaction proceeds via three separate chemical reactions: phosphorylation of hydrogencarbonate to carboxyphosphate; a nucleophilic attack of ammonia on carboxyphosphate yielding carbamate; and the phosphorylation of carbamate forming carbamoyl phosphate. Two moles of ATP are utilized for the synthesis of one molecule of carbamyl phosphate, making the reaction essentially irreversible. The enzyme requires the allosteric activator?N-acetyl-L-glutamate.?cf. EC?6.3.5.5, carbamoyl-phosphate synthase (glutamine-hydrolysing). Formerly EC?2.7.2.5. |
