Abstract
Ornithine carbamoyltransferase, an enzyme that occurs typically in vertebrates having a ureotelic metabolism, is present in the liver of the African lungfish Protopterus aethiopicus. The reaction studied depends on L-ornithine, carbamoylphosphate, and unboiled homogenate of liver.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
