Term Information

Accession: GO:0000050
Name: urea cycle
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: ornithine cycle, urea biosynthesis, urea biosynthetic process
Alternate IDs: GO:0006594, GO:0006871
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. Source: ISBN:0198506732, GOC:vw, GOC:pde
