Abstract excerpt
Background: The endogenous production of arginine relies on the synthesis of citrulline by enteral ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC). Mutations in the gene coding for this enzyme are the most frequent cause of urea cycle disorders. There is a lack of correlation between in vivo metabolic function and DNA sequence, transcript abundance, or in vitro enzyme activity. Objective: The goal of the present work was to...
