The dual genetic control of ornithine transcarbamylase synthesis in Escherichia coli K12 [PDF]
Mutations at 2 distant genes influence ornithine transcarbamylase synthesis in Escherichia coli K12. The wild type alleles of either of them restores to an OTC-less strain the ability to synthesize this enzyme under feedback control by ...

Clinical and genetic analysis of five Chinese patients with urea cycle disorders
Background The urea cycle plays a key role in preventing the accumulation of toxic nitrogenous waste products, including two essential enzymes: ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) and argininosuccinate lyase (ASL).

Prenatal diagnosis of ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency: optimizing pregnancy outcome in a woman with previous affected babies [PDF]
Ornithine Transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency is an inherited X-linked disorder which predominantly affects males. Females are usually carriers and may rarely be symptomatic. Affected individuals may present with severe life threatening disease immediately

Immunological Characterization of Plant Ornithine Transcarbamylases [PDF]
Pea (Pisum sativum L.) ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) antisera were used to investigate the immunological relatedness of several plant and animal OTC enzymes. The antisera immunoprecipitated OTC activity in all monocot and dicot species tested, and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of immunoprecipitated protein ...

ABSTRACT Background and Aim Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is a metabolic disorder affecting branched‐chain amino acid metabolism. While neurological symptoms are well‐characterized, cutaneous manifestations such as acrodermatitis dysmetabolica (AD) caused by isoleucine deficiency remain underrecognized.

Mutation of ornithine transcarbamylase (H136R) in a girl with severe intermittent orotic aciduria but normal enzyme activity [PDF]
Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency shows X-linked inheritance with partial dominant expression in carrier females. We studied a girl with intermittent severe orotic aciduria and mild hyperammonaemia despite apparently normal enzyme activity in the ...
