Urea Cycle and Its Disorder
• Urea is the end product of protein metabolism.
• Urea synthesized in liver and transported to kidney for excretion in
urine.
• It is also known as Krebs-Henseleit Cycle.
• Urea has two amino groups, one drived from NH3 and other from
aspartate.
• Urea synthesis is a five step cyclic process.
• First two enzymes present in mitochondria.
• Rest of enzymes present in cytosol.
Urea cycle
Energetics
• Urea cycle consumes 4 ATP.
Thank You
