ENTRY EC 2.1.3.6
NAME Putrescine carbamoyltransferase
CLASS Transferases
Transferring one-carbon groups
Carboxyl- and carbamoyltransferases
SYSNAME Carbamoyl-phosphate:putrescine carbamoyltransferase
REACTION Carbamoyl phosphate + Putrescine = Orthophosphate +
N-Carbamoylputrescine
SUBSTRATE Carbamoyl phosphate
Putrescine
Agmatine
Ornithine
PRODUCT Orthophosphate
N-Carbamoylputrescine
Putrescine
Citrulline
COMMENT The plant enzyme also catalyses the reactions of EC 2.1.3.3,
