acetylglutamic acid
the l isomer, N-acetyl-l-glutamic acid, is a key intermediate in ornithine formation in bacteria and plants. It is converted to N-acetyl-l-glutamic c-semialdehyde, from which N-acetyl-l-ornithine is formed in a transaminationreaction. It activates carbamoyl-phosphate synthase, whichcatalyzes the synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate from ammonia and carbondioxide, the first committed step in the urea cycle. It is formed from acetyl-CoA and glutamate by the action of amino acid N-acetyl transferase, EC 2.3.1.1.
