Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in glutamate N-acetyltransferase activity
Specific FunctionCatalyzes two activities which are involved in the cyclic version of arginine biosynthesis:the synthesis of acetylglutamate from glutamate and acetyl-CoA, and of ornithine by transacetylation between acetylornithine and glutamate
