Medical vocabulary what does carbamoyl phosphate synthetase i activators mean
Production
It is produced from bicarbonate, ammonia (derived from glutamine), and phosphate (from ATP). The synthesis is catalysed by the enzyme carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, as follows:
3 + ATP → ADP + HO–C(O)–OPO2−
3 (carboxyl phosphate)
3 + NH3 + OH− → HPO2−
4 + −O–C(O)NH2 + H2O
2NC(O)OPO2−
3
