Talk:N-Acetylglutamic acid

Expanding this article
I'd like to add to this article. First I would definitely specify that arginine is an activator only in vertebrates and is an inhibitor in plants and bacteria. Other edits:
 * Discovery: N-Acetyl Glutamic Acid (NAG) isolation from Rhizobium trifolii ANU843
 * Biosynthesis of NAG: glutamate is a precursor
 * NAG in lower level organisms such as bacteria and plants: NAG is the first intermediate in in arginine biosynthesis; NAG is produced by NAG synthase and ornithine acetyl transferase
 * NAG in higher level organisms such as vertebrae: NAG is important in the urea cycle; NAG synthase is the only way to produce NAG, NAG deficiency in humans
 * Some research done using NAG: research on toxicity of NAG over 28 days, effect of diet on NAG synthesis and degradation

That's all I have in mind for now. Hopefully it sounds like a good start! --Elleevikram (talk) 04:09, 7 May 2018 (UTC) Elleevikram

More specificity is needed
you said: Arginine is the activator for this reaction. I think you should add: "in vertebrates" because I've read the article about N-acetyl glutamate synthase: and they wrote that arginin is activator in vertebrates but inhibitor in plants and bacteria — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yasir muhammed ali (talk • contribs) 11:26, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

N-Acetylglutamic acid or N-acetylglutamic acid?
Minor style question, but which is more appropriate, either at the beginning of a sentence or within one? This and related articles seem inconsistent in capitalizing NAG or not. Myoglobin (talk) 13:56, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
