Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Catalyzes the second step of the urea cycle, the condensation of carbamoyl phosphate with L-ornithine to form L-citrulline (PubMed:7332529). The urea cycle ensures the detoxification of ammonia by converting it to urea for excretion (Probable).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY carbamoyl phosphate + L-ornithine = L-citrulline + phosphate + H(+)ACTIVITY REGULATION Inhibition by ornithine increases at higher pH.BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES With an increase in pH, a decrease in KM values for ornithine and an increase in the extent of inhibition by ornithine are observed.PATHWAY Nitrogen metabolism; urea cycle; L-citrulline from L-ornithine and carbamoyl phosphate: step 1/1.SUBUNIT Homotrimer.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION Expressed in kidney, brain, heart, liver, pancreas, gizzard, small intestine and breast muscle. More abundant in mitochondrion-rich organs (heart, liver and brain) than in other organs. Activity is only detected in the kidney.DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE Activity detectable in embryos by day 14. Increases until 7 days post-hatching, then decreases again.INDUCTION By diet of egg yolk in animals which have a high level of OTC activity due to presence of OCB gene.PTM Cleavage of the precursor form to the active form occurs only in the kidney.MISCELLANEOUS Ornithine transcarbamylase activity varies within and between different breeds of chicken.SIMILARITY Belongs to the aspartate/ornithine carbamoyltransferase superfamily. OTCase family.
