The urea cycle (also known as the ornithine cycle) is a cycle of biochemical reactions that produces urea from ammonia. This cycle occurs in ureotelic organisms. The urea cycle converts highly toxic ammonia to urea for excretion. This cycle was the first metabolic cycle to be discovered (Hans Krebs and Kurt Henseleit, 1932), five years before the discovery of the TCA cycle. This cycle was described in more detail later on by Ratner and Cohen. The urea cycle takes place primarily in the liver and, to a lesser extent, in the kidneys.
Amino acid catabolism results in waste ammonia. All animals need a way to excrete this product. Most aquatic organisms, or ammonotelic organisms, excrete ammonia without converting it.[1] Organisms that cannot easily and safely remove nitrogen as ammonia convert it to a less toxic substance such as urea or uric acid via the urea cycle, which occurs mainly in the liver. Urea produced by the liver is then released into the bloodstream where it travels to the kidneys and is ultimately excreted in urine.
Steps of the urea cycle:
Carbamoyl phosphate is converted to citrulline. With catalysis by ornithine transcarbamoylase, the carbamoyl phosphate group is donated to ornithine and releases a phosphate group.
A condensation reaction occurs between the amino group of aspartate and the carbonyl group of citrulline to form argininosuccinate. This reaction is ATP dependent and is catalyzed by argininosuccinate synthetase.
Argininosuccinate undergoes cleavage by argininosuccinase to form arginine and fumarate.
Arginine is cleaved by arginase to form urea and ornithine. The ornithine is then transported back to the mitochondria to begin the urea cycle again.
Regulation:
N-Acetylglutamic acid(NAG)
The synthesis of carbamoyl phosphate and the urea cycle are dependent on the presence of N-acetylglutamic acid (NAcGlu), which allosterically activates CPS1. NAcGlu is an obligate activator of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase. Synthesis of NAcGlu by N-acetylglutamate synthase (NAGS) is stimulated by both Arg, allosteric stimulator of NAGS, and Glu, a product in the transamination reactions and one of NAGS's substrates, both of which are elevated when free amino acids are elevated. So Glu not only is a substrate for NAGS but also serves as an activator for the urea cycle.

Significance of Urea Cycle - 1) Toxic ammonia is converted into non-toxic urea 2) The cycle disposes off 2 waste products - CO2 & Ammonia 3) It forms semi-essential amino acid - Arginine 4) It participates in the regulation of blood pH, which depends upon ratio of dissolved CO2 (i.e. H2CO3 to HCO3-)

Perfect

[@lisagonzalez2902]

It was amazing. I was struggling a lot with this pathway but you made it super clear. Thanks a lot!

[@editsthatyoulike9527]

I just want to say here that, your videos are utterly brilliant and so simplified for a complex topic like urea cycle. The animation is very cool and enjoyable that it makes it easy to grasp even while learning this kind of boring topic. I must say that I was grappling with urea cycle for quite a while and found confusing to understand it, but your video made it so easy and even more simplified than that of the textbook. Thank you.

[@ningarajshidlyal8032]

💯💞

[@adiliraliyev5882]

Simply amazing video, high quality production, thx.

[@aminareyaz3567]

Thank you so much. Your explanations are always clear all my doubts. ❤❤

[@susymadrid5903]

i have used your videos to understand and memorize glycolysis, the krebs cycle, and now the urea cycle. i did not truly understand this cycle until after i watched your video. i realized that this cycle is so systematic, and that is going to help me remember it for my exam! i cannot thank you enough, kind sir
sincerely,
a sleep deprived undergrad going through finals week

I am someone who has all was been interested in how the body works, I have been sick with Lyme disease, and my naturopath suggested I take ornithischians, and wow it has helped reduce my head pain, guess it was a missing link for me. It’s so interesting to learn how the urea cycle works and what part the ornithine plays.
