What is Protein Metabolism: Transamination & Urea Cycle about?

1. Protein and amino acids are broken down through transamination, oxidative deamination, and modification of keto acids. This removes amino groups from amino acids. 2. The liver converts the ammonia produced from deamination into urea through the urea cycle. Urea is excreted from the body as it is harmless. 3. The remaining carbon chains from amino acids enter the citric acid cycle and are used to generate ATP through oxidation, with the amount varying depending on the amino acid.
