Description

Ornithine Aminotransferase is a highly specific pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transamination of L-ornithine. This biocatalyst is essential for research and industrial processes requiring precise amino acid metabolism and analysis. It is primarily utilized by biotechnology firms, diagnostic manufacturers, and academic research institutions focused on metabolic pathway studies, enzyme kinetics, and the development of clinical assays.

Application

• Clinical Diagnostics & Reagent Manufacturing: A key component in enzymatic assay kits for the quantitative determination of ornithine and related metabolites in biological samples, aiding in the diagnosis of metabolic disorders.
• Biochemical Research & Enzyme Studies: Used as a model enzyme in studies of transamination mechanisms, pyridoxal phosphate cofactor interaction, and urea cycle regulation.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Employed in metabolic pathway screening and as a tool enzyme in the synthesis or analysis of specific amino acid derivatives and potential drug candidates.
• Food & Nutritional Science Analysis: Applied in enzymatic methods for the quantification of free amino acids, such as ornithine, in food products and nutritional supplements.
• Biocatalysis & Fine Chemical Synthesis: Utilized for the stereoselective synthesis of non-proteinogenic amino acids and chiral intermediates in an environmentally friendly manner.
