Abstract
The effect of urea on various ornithine cycle enzymes has been investigated. It was demonstrated that argininosuccinate lyase was the only ornithine cycle enzyme inhibited by urea in a competitive manner. Based on the data presented the possible role of urea in maintaining a physiological range of intracellular and extracellular urea concentration by controlling hepatic ureogenesis was discussed.Entities:
