N-Acetyl-L-glutamyl 5-phosphate
Definition
N-Acetyl-L-glutamyl 5-phosphate is an intermediate in urea cycle and metabolism of amino groups. The enzyme N-acetyl-gamma-glutamyl-phosphate reductase [EC:1.2.1.38] catalyzes the conversion of this metabolite into N-acetyl-L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde. This reaction is irreversible and occurs in the mitochondria. (BiGG database).
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glutamic acid and derivatives. Glutamic acid and derivatives are compounds containing glutamic acid or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of glutamic acid at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom.
