Document Summary

Lys reacts with plp to form and forms schiff base (enzyme-plp schiff base complex ) Hydrolysis convert amino acid to keto acid (enzyme-plp schiff base becomes pmp ) 3. ) a-kg forms bond to remove amine group from plp. Nh4+ can be processed by urea cycle. Used in hard working muscles that function nearly anaerobically need glycolysis for energy. Glycolysis pyruvate alanine for transport into the liver. If pyruvate is not eliminated, lactic acid will build up. Excess ammonia is added to glutamate form glutamine using glutamine synthase. Transamination: a-ketoglutarate + lys a-keto acid + glutamate. Change into a form that can be transported a. ) Deamination: glutamine + glutaminase glutamate + nh 4 b. ) Alanine + a-ketoglutarate + alanine aminotransferase glutamate + pyruvate c. ) oxaloacetate + aspartate aminotransferase aspartate (used to fuel urea cycle) + is taken by cps i to make carbamoyl phosphate a. ) Super important: cps i controls the urea cycle b. )
