'''Ornithine translocase''' is responsible for transporting [[ornithine]] from the [[cytosol]] into the [[mitochondria]] in the [[urea cycle]]. It is highly expressed in the liver and pancreas.

==Pathology==
A disorder is associated with [[ornithine translocase deficiency]], and a form of [[hyperammonemia]].
