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: Mycobacterium tuberculosis The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota, Archaea

ornithine carbamyltransferase is present in urine of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Recombinant ornithine carboamyltransferase produced in Escherichia coli is recognized by immunoglobulin G antibodies from patients with active tuberculosis but not by IgG from uninfected healthy subjects. Protein is strongly recognized by peripheral blood mononuclear cells from both healthy tuberculin purified protein derivative-positive individuals and patients with pulmonary tuberculosis
The crystal structures of ornithine carbamoyltransferase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its ternary complex with carbamoyl phosphate and L-norvaline reveal the enzymes catalytic mechanism
