Where does deamination occur?
Deamination is the removal of an amine group from a molecule. In human body deamination takes place primarily in liver however glutamate is also deaminated in the kidneys.
End product of the aerobic catabolism of glucose?
The end product of the aerobic catabolism of glucose is pyruvic acid.
Can tryosine is a aliphatic amino acid?
aromatic amino acid
What is smaller amino acid protein dipeptide or polypeptide?
Amino Acid
In transamination the amino group of an amino acid is?
transferred to a keto acid
What is the by-product of amino acid catabolism in the liver?
The catabolism of amino acid in the liver is a highly complex process that will cause Glutamate to form as a by-product.
The amino acid molecules used in the production of urea by the liver are produced by the catabolism of?
proteins
How do you use the word catabolism in a sentence?
That pathway is discussed along with the topic of amino acid catabolism.
When does protein catabolism usually occur?
Protein catabolism is the breakdown of the proteins into the amino acids which are the basic constituents of the protein. In digestion process the proteins get converted into amino acids and used for the repair and building process of cells. The excess of amino acid get converted into fat and sugar and get stored into liver. Due to illness or prolonged starvation when the body does not get adequate energy, this excess of amino acid in the form of fats or sugar get breakdown and provides energy.
What is the primary site for amino acid uptake after a meal?
The liver is the organ that serves as the primary site of amino acid during metabolism.
How is an amino acid pool maintained even though you secret amino acids daily?
Dietary protein or catabolism, especially of skeletal muscle.
What is ureotelic animals?
Animals that excrete in the form of urea nitrogenous waste derived from amino-acid catabolism
The major site of amino acid degradation in mammal?
Liver
Where does the conversion of amino-acid to urea take place?
The Liver
Why lysine and threonin do not undergo transamination?
L-lysine does not participate in transamination. It is the exception to the general rule that the first step in catabolism of an amino acid is the removal of its alpha- amino group by transamination to form the respective alpha-keto acid
In animals nitrogenous waste are produced mostly from the catabolism of?
nitrogenous waste products are produced by animals. the nitrogenous waste products contain an amino group which remove an amino acid in the form of ammonia. the formation of ammonia from the amino acid is known as deamination which occurs in the liver. nitrogenous waste products can be removed in 3 forms ammonia uria and uric acid.
Is urea a product of fatty acid metabolism?
no it is a product of amino acid metabolism (urea cycle in liver)
