Template:STRUCTURE 1a9x Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS) catalyzes the production of carbamoyl phosphate in 3 steps. (1) Carbonyl phosphate is produced from bicarbonate and ATP. (2) Carbamic acid and inorganic phosphate are produced from carbonyl phosphate and NH3. (3) Carbamoyl phosphate and ADP are produced from carbamic acid and ATP. CPS is part of the pyrimidine and arginine biosynthesis as well as the urea cycle in vertebrates. Ornithine is an allosteric effector of CPS. There are 3 forms of CPS. CPS I participates in the urea cycle; CPS II participates in pyrimidine metabolism; CPS III is found in fish. CPS I and II are composed of 2 subunits. CPS I uses glutamine for NH3 source and contains a methylglyoxal synthetase (MGS) domain which binds ornithine. CPS I deficiency causes the accumulation of NH3 in the blood.
