Illustration of the enzyme aspartate transcarbamylase (ATCase). There are three catalytic subunits (red) and three regulatory subunits (orange). ATCase performs an early step in the production of pyrimidine rings, which are used to build nucleotides in DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid) genetic material.
