Accession MF_02102
Dates 7-JUL-2009 (Created)
25-NOV-2009 (Last updated, Version 3)
Data class Protein
Names PTCase



Identifier PTC
Protein name
RecName: Full=Putrescine carbamoyltransferase;
Short=PTCase;
Short=PTC;
EC=2.1.3.6;
AltName: Full=Putrescine transcarbamylase;
AltName: Full=Putrescine transcarbamoylase;
Gene name ptcA
FUNCTION: Catalyzes the phosphorolysis of N-carbamoylputrescine to form carbamoyl phosphate and putrescine. Is involved in the degradation pathway of the polyamine agmatine (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Carbamoyl phosphate + putrescine = phosphate + N-carbamoylputrescine.
PATHWAY: Amine and polyamine biosynthesis; putrescine biosynthesis via agmatine pathway; putrescine from N-carbamoylputrescine (transferase route): step 1/1.
SUBUNIT: Homotrimer (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ATCase/OTCase family. PTCase subfamily.
