General Information
Term L-ornithine catabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0006593 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of L-ornithine, an amino acid only rarely found in proteins, but which is important in living organisms as an intermediate in the reactions of the urea cycle and in arginine biosynthesis.[ ISBN:0192801023 ]
Also Known As "ornithine breakdown" ; "ornithine catabolism" ; "ornithine degradation"
