| Background | The N-acetylglutamate synthase gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the formation of N-acetylglutamate (NAG) from glutamate and acetyl coenzyme-A. NAG is a cofactor of carbamyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI), the first enzyme of the urea cycle in mammals. This gene may regulate ureagenesis by altering NAG availability and, thereby, CPSI activity. Deficiencies in N-acetylglutamate synthase have been associated with hyperammonemia.

| Function | catalytic activity:Acetyl-CoA + L-glutamate = CoA + N-acetyl-L-glutamate.,disease:Defects in NAGS are the cause of N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency (NAGSD) [MIM:237310]. NAGSD is a rare autosomal recessively inherited metabolic disorder leading to severe neonatal or late onset hyperammonemia without increased excretion of orotic acid. Clinical symptoms are somnolence, tachypnea, feeding difficulties, a severe neurologic presentation characterized by uncontrollable movements, developmental delay, visual impairment, failure to thrive and hyperammonemia precipitated by the introduction of high-protein diet or febrile illness.,enzyme regulation:Increased by L-arginine.,function:Plays a role in the regulation of ureagenesis by producing variable amounts of N-acetylglutamate (NAG), thus modulating carbamoylphosphate synthase I (CPSI) activity.,online information:N-acetylglutamate synthase |
| Subcellular location | Mitochondrion matrix . |
| Expression | Highly expressed in the adult liver, kidney and small intestine. Weakly expressed in the fetal liver, lung, pancreas, placenta, heart and brain tissue. |
