PATHWAY	Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-arginine biosynthesis; N(2)-acetyl- L-ornithine from L-glutamate: step 1/4.
case <OC:Enterobacterales>
SUBUNIT	Homohexamer.
end case
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION	Cytoplasm.
case not <OC:Enterobacterales> and not <OC:Pseudomonadaceae> and not <OC:Vibrionaceae>
MISCELLANEOUS	In bacteria which possess the bifunctional enzyme ornithine acetyltransferase/N-acetylglutamate synthase (ArgJ), ArgA fulfills an anaplerotic role.
end case
