What does a high level of ornithine mean?
A high level of ornithine typically indicates a deficiency in the enzyme that breaks down ornithine, called ornithine transcarbamylase. This can lead to a condition called ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, which results in the build-up of ammonia in the blood. This condition can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention.
What is the chemical formula of ornithine?
C5H12N2O2
Which is the metabolic product of arginine?
The metabolic product of arginine is ornithine and urea. The amino acid arginine is degraded by the enzyme arginase into ornithine and urea. The ornithine can be converted to glutamate that is oxidized to alpha ketoglutarate before it enters the kreb cycle.
What compound is regenerated in the urea cycle?
Ornithine
What enzyme starts with the letter O?
ornithine decarboxylase
What has the author Nathan Hoskin written?
Nathan Hoskin has written: 'Polyamines and ornithine decarboxylase in carcinogenesis and neoplasia' -- subject(s): Abstracts, Carcinogens, Polyamines in the body, Ornithine decarboxylase
What is an arginase?
An arginase is an enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of arginine to form urea and ornithine.
Which Supplement contains glutamine lysine arginine ornithine and glycine?
whey protein powder
What can you take to sleep?
Ambien will help you sleep.
Does Ecoli have a true motility?
Motile according to the Motility-Indole-Ornithine Test.
What is arginine biochemical pathway?
Arginine biosynthesis starts with glutamate as the precursor (the called "glutamate family") from where also proline and ornithine come from. The precursor of Arginine biosynthesis from glutamate - proline biosynthesis pathway is an intermediate compound, the glutamate-5-semialdehyde that is transaminated by the enzyme ornithine-delta-aminotransferase to form an ornithine molecule. On the other hand, glutamate can form ornithine through another way, first, the formation of N-Acetylglutamate (catalyzed by the enzyme N-acetylglutamate synthase) that is phosphorylated by ATP, catalyzed by the acetylglutamate kinase enzyme, to form N-Acetylglutamate-5-phosphate. This intermediate form N-Acetylglutamate-5-semialdehyde by the enzyme N-acetyl-gamma-glutamyl phosphate dehydrogenase in the presence of NAD(P)H. The next step is the formation of N-Acetylornithine catalyzed by the enzyme N-acetylornithine-delta-aminotransferase. Finally, ornithine is formed by the catalysis of the enzyme acetylornithine deacetylase. In both cases, an ornithine compound that goes to the urea cycle, that occurs partially in the mitochondrion and partially in the cytosol. In the urea cycle, ornithine is transported across the mitochondrial membrane by a specific transport system and converted to citrulline by an ornithine transcarbamoylase. Citrulline leaves the mitochondrion by a specific transport through the mitochondrial membrane and converted into Argininosuccinate by the enzyme argininosuccinate synthase. The latter compound is transformed into Arginineby the loss of fumarate molecule and catalyzed by the enzyme arginase.
