Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5009
Gene name Ornithine transcarbamylase
Gene symbol OTC
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
OCTDOTC1OTCDOTCase
Chromosome X
Chromosome location Xp11.4
Summary This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial matrix enzyme. Missense, nonsense, and frameshift mutations in this enzyme lead to ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, which causes hyperammonemia. Since the gene for this enzyme maps close to that for Duchenne

Protein name Ornithine transcarbamylase, mitochondrial (OTCase) (EC 2.1.3.3) (Ornithine carbamoyltransferase, mitochondrial)
Protein function Catalyzes the second step of the urea cycle, the condensation of carbamoyl phosphate with L-ornithine to form L-citrulline (PubMed:2556444, PubMed:6372096, PubMed:8112735). The urea cycle ensures the detoxification of ammonia by converting it to
