N-succinylornithine carbamoyltransferase

N-succinylornithine carbamoyltransferase (, succinylornithine transcarbamylase, N-succinyl-L-ornithine transcarbamylase, SOTCase) is an enzyme with systematic name carbamoyl phosphate:N2-succinyl-L-ornithine carbamoyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * carbamoyl phosphate + N2-succinyl-L-ornithine $$\rightleftharpoons$$ phosphate + N-succinyl-L-citrulline

This enzyme is specific for N-succinyl-L-ornithine.
