Otc - ornithine transcarbamylase

Predicted to enable several functions, including identical protein binding activity; ornithine carbamoyltransferase activity; and phosphate ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in alpha-amino acid metabolic process; ion homeostasis; and urea cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within arginine biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; intestine; liver; and small intestine. Used to study ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ornithine carbamoyltransferase deficiency. Orthologous to human OTC (ornithine transcarbamylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
