Other Names | Ornithine carbamoyltransferase, mitochondrial, Ornithine transcarbamylase, OTCase, OTC |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP6928c was selected from the Center region of human OTC. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | OTC (HGNC:8512) |

Function | Catalyzes the second step of the urea cycle, the condensation of carbamoyl phosphate with L-ornithine to form L-citrulline (PubMed:6372096, PubMed:8112735, PubMed:2556444). 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.
