| Accepted name: |
glutamate N-acetyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
N2-acetyl-L-ornithine + L-glutamate = L-ornithine + N-acetyl-L-glutamate |
| Other name(s): |
ornithine transacetylase; α-N-acetyl-L-ornithine:L-glutamate N-acetyltransferase; acetylglutamate synthetase; acetylglutamate-acetylornithine transacetylase; acetylglutamic synthetase; acetylglutamic-acetylornithine transacetylase; acetylornithine glutamate acetyltransferase; glutamate acetyltransferase; N-acetyl-L-glutamate synthetase; N-acetylglutamate synthase; N-acetylglutamate synthetase; ornithine acetyltransferase; 2-N-acetyl-L-ornithine:L-glutamate N-acetyltransferase; acetylornithinase (ambiguous) |
| Systematic name: |
N2-acetyl-L-ornithine:L-glutamate N-acetyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Also has some hydrolytic activity on acetyl-L-ornithine, but the rate is 1% of that of transferase activity. |
