CAD (gene)

CAD  is a gene which encodes several enzymes involved in is_associated_with::pyrimidine biosynthesis. De-novo synthesis starts with is_associated_with::cytosolic is_associated_with::carbamoylphosphate synthetase II which uses is_associated_with::glutamine, is_associated_with::carbon dioxide and 2 ATP. This enzyme is inhibited by UTP.
