ENZYME entry: EC 6.3.4.16

Accepted Name
carbamoyl-phosphate synthase (ammonia)
Alternative Name(s)
carbamoylphosphate synthase (ammonia)
carbamoylphosphate synthetase (ammonia)
carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase (ammonia)
carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase I
carbon-dioxide--ammonia ligase
CPS I
Reaction catalysed
2 ATP + hydrogencarbonate + NH4(+) = 2 ADP + carbamoyl phosphate + 2 H(+) + phosphate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme catalyzes the first committed step in the urea cycle.
  • The reaction proceeds via three separate chemical reactions: phosphorylation of hydrogencarbonate to carboxyphosphate; a nucleophilic attack of ammonia on carboxyphosphate yielding carbamate; and the phosphorylation of carbamate forming carbamoyl phosphate.
  • Two moles of ATP are utilized for the synthesis of one molecule of carbamoyl phosphate, making the reaction essentially irreversible.
  • The enzyme requires the allosteric activator N-acetyl-L-glutamate. cf. EC 6.3.5.5.
  • Formerly EC 2.7.2.5.
