Not really.

The excess amino acids are broken down to release the amine part which becomes ammonia. This ammonia combines with CO2 to form urea.

Does urea contain protein?

The molecular formula of the urea is NH2-CO-NH2. The proteins are long chain of many amino acids. Urea is formed out of metabolism ( break down) of the amino acids.

What components make up to form urea in mammals?

Urea is synthesised in the liver, from the oxidation of amino acids and/or ammonia. Look up "urea cycle" for details about this process. It is then transported (in the blood) to the kidneys and excreted to the bladder, and exits the body with the urine.

What is the waste product from the conversion amino acid into glucose?

The waste product from the conversion of amino acids into glucose is ammonia (NH3). Ammonia is produced during the breakdown of amino acids in the liver and is eventually converted into urea for excretion by the kidneys.


Does the liver deaminate fatty acids?

Deamination is a process that occurs in the liver that removes the nitrogen-containing portions (-NH2 groups) from the amino acids. These -NH2 groups subsequently react to form a waste called urea. The liver therefore produces urea from amino groups formed by deamination of amino acids. The blood carries urea to the kidneys, where it is excreted in urine.
