The Effect of Ammonia Administration on Orotic Acid Excretion in Rats.
Ammonia fixation has been shown to proceed through at least three major pathways in ureotelic animals (1, 2). These are carbamyl phosphate synthetase, glutamic dehydrogenase, and glutamine synthetase. Perhaps the most significant means for removal of exogenous ammonia is by its conversion to urea (3). The initial step in this conversion is the production of carbamyl phosphate in the liver. Carb...

متن کاملCarbamyl phosphate synthesis in a land snail, Strophocheilus oblongus.
A carbamyl phosphate synthetase has been detected and partially characterized in hepatopancreas tissue of the land snail Strophocheitus oblongus. The enzyme is localized in mitochondria, utilizes L-glutamine, and shows an absolute requirement for N-acetyl-L-glutamate. This unique combination of properties distinguishes the snail enzyme from either of the previously described animal carbamyl pho...
متن کاملKinetic studies on rat liver carbamyl phosphate synthetase.
A partial purification of adult rat liver carbamyl phosphate synthetase is described. The mitochondrial enzyme has been purified to a specific activity of 23.3 pmoles of citrulline per hour per mg of protein. Kinetic studies reveal Michaelis constants for ammonium ion, bicarbonate, ATP, N-acetylglutamic acid, and magnesium similar to the reported values for frog liver carbamyl phosphate synthet...
متن کاملA glutamine-dependent enzyme for the synthesis of carbamyl phosphate for pyrimidine biosynthesis in fetal rat liver.
Experiments with the soluble supernatant fraction of fetal rat liver indicate that it contains a glutamine-dependent carbamyl phosphate synthetase. This enzyme can utilize ammonia or glutamine as substrate, but the K, for glutamine is low (approximately low5 M) while the Km for ammonium ion-ammonia is at least 100 times higher. The ATP saturation curve for the enzyme appears to be sigmoidal. Th...
