Enzyme Information

2.3.1.109
Arginine N-succinyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt P80357
Succinyl-CoA + L-arginine = CoA + N(2)-succinyl-L-arginine.
-!- 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.
