| carbamoyltransferase | Enzymes transferring carbamoyl groups from one compound to another (e.g., aspartate carbamoyltransferase, ornithine carbamoyltransferase). Synonym: transcarbamoylase. (05 Mar 2000) |

| aspartate carbamoyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of carbamoyl phosphate and l-aspartate to yield orthophosphate and n-carbamoyl-l-aspartate. Chemical name: Carbamoyl-phosphate:L-aspartate carbamoyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.1.3.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| ornithine carbamoyltransferase | <enzyme> An enzyme of the transferase class that catalyses the reaction of carbamoyl phosphate and l-ornithine to yield orthophosphate and l-citrulline. The enzyme occurs in the liver. The reaction is a part of the urea cycle. Genetic deficiency of the enzyme, an x-linked trait, impairs urea formation and produces hyperammonaemia. Chemical name: Carbamoyl-phosphate:L-ornithine carbamoyltransferase Registry number: EC 2.1.3.3 (12 Dec 1998) |
| oxamate carbamoyltransferase | <enzyme> Phosphorylises oxalurate to oxamate Registry number: EC 2.1.3.5 (26 Jun 1999) |
