A high level of ornithine typically indicates a deficiency in the enzyme that breaks down ornithine, called ornithine transcarbamylase. This can lead to a condition called ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, which results in the build-up of ammonia in the blood. This condition can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.

The formation of urea in the liver occurs through the urea cycle, primarily involving several key enzymes. These include carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I, which initiates the cycle by converting ammonia and bicarbonate into carbamoyl phosphate, followed by ornithine transcarbamylase, argininosuccinate synthetase, and argininosuccinate lyase. Finally, arginase catalyzes the conversion of arginine to urea and ornithine, completing the cycle.

OTC usually stands for Over The Counter. It also stands for Ornithine transcarbamylase.
"OTC" stands for "over-the-counter," which in the US means that you can purchase that medication without a prescription.

Ornithine decarboxylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ornithine into putrescine in the polyamine biosynthesis pathway. It plays a crucial role in cell growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Inhibiting ornithine decarboxylase is a potential target for cancer therapy due to its involvement in promoting tumor growth.

The metabolic product of arginine is ornithine and urea. The amino acid arginine is degraded by the enzyme arginase into ornithine and urea. The ornithine can be converted to glutamate that is oxidized to alpha ketoglutarate before it enters the kreb cycle.

The compound regenerated in the urea cycle is ornithine. This compound allows the cycle to continue by combining with carbamoyl phosphate to form citrulline, which is then further processed to produce urea.

The breakdown of amino acids, specifically arginine and ornithine, in the liver results in the formation of urea. This process is known as the urea cycle or ornithine cycle, and it plays a key role in removing toxic ammonia from the body.

Arginine biosynthesis starts with glutamate as the precursor (the called "glutamate family") from where also proline and ornithine come from. The precursor of Arginine biosynthesis from glutamate - proline biosynthesis pathway is an intermediate compound, the glutamate-5-semialdehyde that is transaminated by the enzyme ornithine-delta-aminotransferase to form an ornithine molecule. On the other hand, glutamate can form ornithine through another way, first, the formation of N-Acetylglutamate (catalyzed by the enzyme N-acetylglutamate synthase) that is phosphorylated by ATP, catalyzed by the acetylglutamate kinase enzyme, to form N-Acetylglutamate-5-phosphate. This intermediate form N-Acetylglutamate-5-semialdehyde by the enzyme N-acetyl-gamma-glutamyl phosphate dehydrogenase in the presence of NAD(P)H. The next step is the formation of N-Acetylornithine catalyzed by the enzyme N-acetylornithine-delta-aminotransferase. Finally, ornithine is formed by the catalysis of the enzyme acetylornithine deacetylase. In both cases, an ornithine compound that goes to the urea cycle, that occurs partially in the mitochondrion and partially in the cytosol. In the urea cycle, ornithine is transported across the mitochondrial membrane by a specific transport system and converted to citrulline by an ornithine transcarbamoylase. Citrulline leaves the mitochondrion by a specific transport through the mitochondrial membrane and converted into Argininosuccinate by the enzyme argininosuccinate synthase. The latter compound is transformed into Arginineby the loss of fumarate molecule and catalyzed by the enzyme arginase.

Non-essential amino acid for human development but is required intermediate in arginine biosynthesis. Found in virtually all vertebrate tissues as well as incorporated into proteins, such as tyrocidine. L-Ornithine hydrochloride is also a supplement that many athletes and bodybuilders use to gain an athletic edge. Supplement websites say that adding L-Ornithine hydrochloride powders to any workout routine increases tissue growth and leads to more lean muscle mass. However, scientific studies have not shown this to be true.
