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.
