Amino-acid-metabolism

Amino acid metabolism both produces and consumes hydrogen ions, according to the type of amino acid concerned. The metabolism of neutral amino acids eventually results in the formation of urea and carbon dioxide. Amino acid metabolism is an important process that occurs within the human body to assist in numerous biological reactions. This article will cover the role of glutamate, transamination reactions, and various types of amino acids such as glycogenic, ketogenic, and mixed amino acids.
