    Enzymes

    General function:
    Involved in catalytic activity
    Specific function:
    Involved in the urea cycle of ureotelic animals where the enzyme plays an important role in removing excess ammonia from the cell.
    Gene Name:
    CPS1
    Uniprot ID:
    P31327
    Molecular weight:
    165649.075
    General function:
    Involved in N-acetyltransferase activity
    Specific function:
    Plays a role in the regulation of ureagenesis by producing variable amounts of N-acetylglutamate (NAG), thus modulating carbamoylphosphate synthase I (CPSI) activity.
    Gene Name:
    NAGS
    Uniprot ID:
    Q8N159
    Molecular weight:
    58155.835
    General function:
    Involved in glycine N-acyltransferase activity
    Specific function:
    Mitochondrial acyltransferase which transfers an acyl group to the N-terminus of glycine and glutamine, although much less efficiently. Can conjugate numerous substrates to form a variety of N-acylglycines, with a preference for benzoyl-CoA over phenylacetyl-CoA as acyl donors. Thereby detoxify xenobiotics, such as benzoic acid or salicylic acid, and endogenous organic acids, such as isovaleric acid.
    Gene Name:
    GLYAT
    Uniprot ID:
    Q6IB77
    Molecular weight:
    18506.33
    General function:
    Involved in glycine N-acyltransferase activity
    Specific function:
    Acyltransferase which transfers an acyl group to the N-terminus of glutamine. Can use phenylacetyl-CoA as an acyl donor.
    Gene Name:
    GLYATL1
    Uniprot ID:
    Q969I3
    Molecular weight:
    35100.895
    General function:
    Involved in glycine N-acyltransferase activity
    Specific function:
    Mitochondrial acyltransferase which transfers the acyl group to the N-terminus of glycine. Conjugates numerous substrates, such as arachidonoyl-CoA and saturated medium and long-chain acyl-CoAs ranging from chain-length C8:0-CoA to C18:0-CoA, to form a variety of N-acylglycines. Shows a preference for monounsaturated fatty acid oleoyl-CoA (C18:1-CoA) as an acyl donor. Does not exhibit any activity toward C22:6-CoA and chenodeoxycholoyl-CoA, nor toward serine or alanine.
    Gene Name:
