Definition of carA

• Curated proteins matching carbamoyl-phosphate synthase%small
• Ignore hits to items matching EC 6.3.5.5 when looking for 'other' hits
• Ignore hits to items matching EC 6.3.4.16 when looking for 'other' hits
• HMM TIGR01368
• Comment: This could obtain the amino group from glutamine (EC 6.3.5.5) or from ammonia (EC 6.3.4.16)
