UniProt functional annotation for P84010

UniProt code: P84010.

Organism: Ovis aries (Sheep).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Artiodactyla; Ruminantia; Pecora; Bovidae; Caprinae; Ovis.
 
Function: Catalyzes the second step of the urea cycle, the condensation of carbamoyl phosphate with L-ornithine to form L-citrulline (PubMed:14527149). The urea cycle ensures the detoxification of ammonia by converting it to urea for excretion (Probable). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14527149, ECO:0000305}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=carbamoyl phosphate + L-ornithine = H(+) + L-citrulline + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:19513, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:46911, ChEBI:CHEBI:57743, ChEBI:CHEBI:58228; EC=2.1.3.3; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:14527149}; PhysiologicalDirection=right-to-left; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:19515; Evidence={ECO:0000305|PubMed:14527149};
Activity regulation: Negatively regulated by lysine acetylation. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00480}.
Pathway: Nitrogen metabolism; urea cycle; L-citrulline from L-ornithine and carbamoyl phosphate: step 1/1. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:14527149}.
Subunit: Homotrimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14527149}.
Subcellular location: Mitochondrion matrix {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00480}.
Domain: Residues 88-96, 111-125 and 247-283 form flexible loops whose positions are affected on substrate binding. {ECO:0000303|PubMed:14527149}.
Ptm: Acetylation at Lys-89 negatively regulates ornithine carbamoyltransferase activity in response to nutrient signals. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P00480}.
Similarity: Belongs to the aspartate/ornithine carbamoyltransferase superfamily. OTCase family. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14527149}.
