UniProt Protein Function: | Reversibly catalyzes the transfer of the carbamoyl group from carbamoyl phosphate (CP) to the N(epsilon) atom of ornithine (ORN) to produce L-citrulline, which is a substrate for argininosuccinate synthetase, the enzyme involved in the final step in arginine biosynthesis. |

NCBI Summary: | argI and argF have same enzyme activity. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10067]. In the test tube, not in the cell, a family of four isoenzymes forms by assortment of two closely similar polypeptides, the chain F-monomer and chain I-monomer, to give active trimers FFF, FFI, FII, and III.
