Ontological Term Details

Metabolite
HMDB0000214 (Ornithine)
Term
Arginine and Proline Metabolism
Definition
arginine is synthesized from citrulline by the sequential action of the cytosolic enzymes argininosuccinate synthetase (ass) and argininosuccinate lyase (asl). citrulline can be derived from ornithine via the catabolism of proline or glutamine/glutamate.
Parent Term
