N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS)
What it does, reaction by reaction
This enzyme appears only in the regulation table, with no catalysed step recorded.
What accelerates and inhibits it
Regulation is pathway-specific, so each context is listed separately
Urea Cycle
Arginine activates NAGS; acetyl-CoA and glutamate availability
Deficient arginine or acetyl-CoA availability
Induced with sustained high-protein intake and catabolic hormonal states
