Adenosine triphosphate

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a nucleotide that provides energy to drive and support many processes in living cells, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, and chemical synthesis.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Adenosine triphosphate

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds that contain both amino and carboxylic acid functional groups.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Amino acid

Ammonia

Ammonia is an inorganic chemical compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Ammonia

Bicarbonate

In inorganic chemistry, bicarbonate (IUPAC-recommended nomenclature: hydrogencarbonate) is an intermediate form in the deprotonation of carbonic acid.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Bicarbonate

Biosynthesis

Biosynthesis, i.e., chemical synthesis occuring in biological contexts, is a term most often referring to multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where chemical substances absorbed as nutrients (or previously converted through biosynthesis) serve as enzyme substrates, with conversion by the living organism either into simpler or more complex products.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Biosynthesis

Carbamate

In organic chemistry, a carbamate is a category of organic compounds with the general formula and structure, which are formally derived from carbamic acid. Carbamoyl phosphate and carbamate are carbamates.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Carbamate

Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase

Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase catalyzes the ATP-dependent synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate from glutamine or ammonia and bicarbonate.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase

Citrulline

The organic compound citrulline is an α-amino acid.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Citrulline

Hyperammonemia

Hyperammonemia is a metabolic disturbance characterised by an excess of ammonia in the blood.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Hyperammonemia

Ion

An ion is an atom or molecule with a net electrical charge.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Ion

Metabolic intermediates are molecules that are the precursors or metabolites of biologically significant molecules.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Metabolic intermediate

In biochemistry, a metabolic pathway is a linked series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Metabolic pathway

Nitrogen

Nitrogen is a chemical element; it has symbol N and atomic number 7.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Nitrogen

Ornithine

Ornithine is a non-proteinogenic α-amino acid that plays a role in the urea cycle.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Ornithine

Ornithine transcarbamylase

Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) (also called ornithine carbamoyltransferase) is an enzyme that catalyzes the reaction between carbamoyl phosphate (CP) and ornithine (Orn) to form citrulline (Cit) and phosphate (Pi).

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Ornithine transcarbamylase

Phosphate

In chemistry, a phosphate is an anion, salt, functional group or ester derived from a phosphoric acid.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Phosphate

Pyrimidine

Pyrimidine is an aromatic, heterocyclic, organic compound similar to pyridine.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Pyrimidine

Sirtuin

Sirtuins are a family of signaling proteins involved in metabolic regulation.

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Sirtuin

Urea cycle

The urea cycle (also known as the ornithine cycle) is a cycle of biochemical reactions that produces urea (NH2)2CO from ammonia (NH3).

See Carbamoyl phosphate and Urea cycle
