Pyrimidine De Novo Synthesis (through to UMP, then CTP/dTMP) Nucleotide Metabolism · Cytosol (one mitochondrial step)

step 3 Irreversible/directional

Carbamoyl aspartate → dihydroorotate

Converts Carbamoyl aspartate into Dihydroorotate

› Notes

Dihydroorotase catalyzes intramolecular cyclization/dehydration: carbamoyl aspartate ⇌ L-dihydroorotate + H2O. This zinc-dependent enzyme is the third CAD activity.
