General Information
Term urea cycle ID (Ontology) GO:0000050 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The sequence of reactions by which arginine is synthesized from ornithine, then cleaved to yield urea and regenerate ornithine. The overall reaction equation is NH3 + CO2 + aspartate + 3 ATP + 2 H2O = urea + fumarate + 2 ADP + 2 phosphate + AMP + diphosphate.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
Also Known As "ornithine cycle" ; "urea biosynthesis" ; "urea biosynthetic process"
