Presentation Transcript

  1. CHAPTER 20 PROTEIN METABOLISM

  2. Nitrogen of Amino Acids • nitrogensto be excreted are collected in glutamate • which is oxidized to a-ketoglutarate and NH4+.

  3. The Urea Cycle - Overview • Urea cycle: a cyclic pathway that produces urea from CO2 and NH4+.

  4. Amino Acid Catabolism • The breakdown of amino acid carbon skeletons follows two pathways. • glucogenic amino acids: those whose carbon skeletons are degraded to pyruvate or oxaloacetate, both of which may then be converted to glucose by gluconeogenesis. • ketogenic amino acids: those whose carbon skeletons are degraded to acetyl CoA or acetoacetylCoA.
