Function
CAD protein is a trifunctional enzyme which contains dihydroorotase domain (DHO), aspartate transcarbamoylase domain (ATC) and carbamoylphosphate synthetase domain[1]. The CAD protein catalyzes the first 3 of 6 reactions required for pyrimidine biosynthesis.
Disease
Deficiency in carbamoylphosphate synthetase leads to lack of urea and hyperammonemia[2]
