Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; aspartate carbamoyltransferase activity; and carbamoyl-phosphate synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing) activity. Predicted to be involved in 'de novo' pyrimidine nucleobase biosynthetic process and glutamine metabolic process. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
pyr-1. In C. elegans,
pyr-1 is involved in several processes, including nematode pharyngeal gland morphogenesis; nematode pharynx development; and pyrimidine nucleobase biosynthetic process.
