Lysine carbamoyltransferase

In enzymology, a lysine carbamoyltransferase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

The substrates of this enzyme are carbamoyl phosphate and L-lysine, and it produces L-homocitrulline.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases that transfer one-carbon groups, specifically the carboxy- and carbamoyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is carbamoyl-phosphate:L-lysine carbamoyltransferase. This enzyme is also called lysine transcarbamylase.
