| Tissue Specificity | Mainly expressed in liver and intestinal mucosa. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Acetylation at Lys-88 negatively regulates ornithine carbamoyltransferase activity in response to nutrient signals. |
| Function | Catalyzes the second step of the urea cycle, the condensation of carbamoyl phosphate with L-ornithine to form L-citrulline. The urea cycle ensures the detoxification of ammonia by converting it to urea for excretion. |
