What is Urea Cycle and Ammonia Disposal about?

1. Amino acid metabolism involves three main reactions: transamination, deamination, and formation of urea. Transamination transfers amino groups between amino acids and alpha-ketoglutarate. 2. Deamination removes the amino group from amino acids to form ammonia. Glutamate dehydrogenase catalyzes the oxidative deamination of glutamate to produce ammonia and alpha-ketoglutarate. 3. The urea cycle in the liver plays an important role in detoxifying ammonia by combining two ammonia molecules into urea, whi
