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 urea for excretion (PubMed:2556444). |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion matrix |
Tissue Location | Mainly expressed in liver and intestinal mucosa. |

Background
OTC is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme. Missense, nonsense, and frameshift mutations in this enzyme lead to ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, which causes hyperammonemia.
