In enzymology a N-acetylornithine carbamoyltransferase (EC 2.1.3.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactioncarbamoyl phosphate + N2-acetyl-L-ornithine phosphate + N-acetyl-L-citrullineThus the two substrates of this enzyme are carbamoyl phosphate and N2-acetyl-L-ornithine whereas its two products are phosphate and N-acetyl-L-citrulline.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases that transfer one-carbon groups specifically the carboxy- and carbamoyltransferases.
