What it does, reaction by reaction
1 reactions
Pyrimidine De Novo Synthesis (through to UMP, then CTP/dTMP) Nucleotide Metabolism · Cytosol (one mitochondrial step)
step 2
Irreversible/directional
Carbamoyl phosphate → carbamoyl aspartate
Converts Carbamoyl phosphate into Carbamoyl aspartate
› Notes
Aspartate transcarbamylase (ATCase) catalyzes carbamoyl phosphate + aspartate → carbamoyl aspartate + Pi. In mammals this activity is the second domain of CAD and does not consume ATP directly.
