Specifications
Target Information
Porcine ornithine carbamoyltransferase (pOCT), also known as ornithine transcarbamylase, is a pivotal enzyme in the urea cycle, a critical metabolic pathway responsible for the detoxification of ammonia in mammals. pOCT catalyzes the transfer of a carbamoyl group from carbamoyl phosphate to ornithine, forming citrulline, which is an essential step in the conversion of ammonia to urea for excretion. This enzyme is predominantly found in the liver, where it plays a key role in maintaining nitrogen balance and preventing the accumulation of toxic levels of ammonia in the bloodstream. In pigs, pOCT is vital for the proper functioning of the urea cycle, which is essential for the health and well-being of the animal.
