Enzyme Information

2.1.3.6
Putrescine carbamoyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q837U7
Carbamoyl phosphate + putrescine = phosphate + N-carbamoylputrescine.
-!- The plant enzyme also catalyzes the reactions of EC 2.1.3.3, EC 2.7.2.2 and EC 3.5.3.12, thus acting as putrescine synthase, converting agmatine and ornithine into putrescine and citrulline respectively.
