ENZYME entry: EC 2.3.1.109

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.3.1.109
Accepted Name
arginine N-succinyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
AOST
arginine and ornithine N(2)-succinyltransferase
arginine succinyltransferase
AST
Reaction catalysed
succinyl-CoA + L-arginine = N(2)-succinyl-L-arginine + CoA + H(+)
Comment(s)
  • Also acts on L-ornithine.
  • This is the first enzyme in the arginine succinyltransferase (AST) pathway for the catabolism of arginine.
  • This pathway converts the carbon skeleton of arginine into glutamate, with the concomitant production of ammonia and conversion of succinyl-CoA into succinate and CoA.
  • The five enzymes involved in this pathway are EC 2.3.1.109, EC 3.5.3.23, EC 2.6.1.81, EC 1.2.1.71 and EC 3.5.1.96.
