Ammonium carbamate is a salt formed by the reaction of ammonia with carbon dioxide or carbamic acid. Ammonium carbamate can play a key role in the formation of carbamoyl phosphate, which is necessary for both the urea cycle and the production of pyrimidines. In this enzyme-catalyzed reaction, ATP and ammonium carbamate are converted to ADP and carbamoyl phosphate. Ammonium carbamate is used as an inert ingredient in aluminum phosphide pesticide formulations functioning to make the phosphine less flammable by freeing ammonia and carbon dioxide to dilute hydrogen phosphide formed by a hydrolysis reaction. It can also be used as a good ammoniating agent, but not nearly as strong an ammoniating agent as ammonia. Ammonium carbamate has also been used in Glycoblotting, a high throughput method for N-glycan enrichment, proven to be feasible for selective enrichment analysis of O-glycans of common (mucin) glycoproteins.
