CAD protein

Function CAD protein is a trifunctional enzyme which contains dihydroorotase domain (DHO), aspartate transcarbamoylase domain (ATC) and carbamoylphosphate synthetase domain. The CAD protein catalyzes the first 3 of 6 reactions required for pyrimidine biosynthesis. Disease Deficiency in carbamoylphosphate synthetase leads to lack of urea and hyperammonemia Structural highlights The 3D structure of CAD protein dihydroorotase subunit complex with dihydroorotate shows the containing and a flexible loop containing conserved Thr and Phe in a loop-out conformation. Water molecules are shown as red spheres. 3D structures of CAD protein CAD protein 3D structures
