Carbamoyltransferases are a group of enzymes that facilitate the transfer of a carbamoyl group (–C(O)NH2) from one molecule to another. They play a crucial role in various metabolic pathways, including the synthesis of amino acids and nucleotides. These enzymes are essential for the proper functioning of cellular processes and help maintain nitrogen balance in organisms. These enzymes are found in many organisms, including bacteria, plants, and animals. Different types of carbamoyltransferases are specific to certain substrates, allowing for diverse biochemical reactions. Their activity is vital for processes such as urea cycle and pyrimidine biosynthesis, contributing to overall metabolic health.
