EC Tree
IUBMB Comments The plant enzyme also catalyses the reactions of EC 2.1.3.6 putrescine carbamoyltransferase, EC 2.7.2.2 carbamate kinase and EC 3.5.3.12 agmatine deiminase, thus acting as putrescine synthase, converting agmatine [(4-aminobutyl)guanidine] and ornithine into putrescine and citrulline, respectively.
The taxonomic range for the selected organisms is: Enterococcus faecalis The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota, Archaea

in addition to using putrescine, see EC 2.1.3.6, the enzyme can utilize L-ornithine as a poor substrate. Differences between the respective 230 and SMG loops of putrescine transcarbamoylase PTC and OTC appear to account for the differential preference of these enzymes for putrescine and ornithine, active center and the discrimination mechanism between putrescine and ornithine, overview
