General description
Ornithine carbamoyltransferase/ornithine transcarbamylase is a mitochondrial enzyme that maintains the urea cycle by regenerating citrulline (Cit) from carbamoyl phosphate and ornithine; wherein ornithine is generated during the catabolism of arginine to release urea for excretion.
Specificity
Anti-OTC polyclonal antibody reacts with canine, human, mouse, rat, bovine, and pig ornithine carbamoyltransferase/ornithine transcarbamylase(s).
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human OTC
Application
Anti-OTC polyclonal antibody is used to tag ornithine transcarbamylase for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of ornithine transcarbamylase in the urea cycle.
Biochem/physiol Actions
OTC is 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 muscular dystrophy, it may play a role in that disease also.This nuclear gene encodes a mitochondrial matrix enzyme.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is associated with low plasma arginine and vascular dysfunction. It is not clear whether low intestinal citrulline production, the precursor for arginine synthesis, occurs before and thus predisposes to NEC or if it results from tissue damage.

The endogenous production of arginine relies on the synthesis of citrulline by enteral ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC). Mutations in the gene coding for this enzyme are the most frequent cause of urea cycle disorders. There is a lack of correlation between

We previously reported that, in cultured hepatocytes, mitochondrial aquaporin-8 (AQP8) channels facilitate the conversion of ammonia to urea and that the expression of human AQP8 (hAQP8) enhances ammonia-derived ureagenesis. In this study, we evaluated whether hepatic gene transfer of hAQP8
