Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in the adult liver, kidney and small intestine. Weakly expressed in the fetal liver, lung, pancreas, placenta, heart and brain tissue. |
Post Translational Modifications | Probably processed by mitochondrial processing peptidase (MPP). The long form has not yet been isolated. |
Function | Plays a role in the regulation of ureagenesis by producing the essential cofactor N-acetylglutamate (NAG), thus modulating carbamoylphosphate synthase I (CPS1) activity. |
