- The earliest enzymatic functions are mostly linked to amino acid catabolism: deamination, transamination, and decarboxylation.
Derivativestransaminate verb ...- Ornithine, in excess of urea cycle needs, is transaminated to form glutamate semialdehyde.
- In skeletal muscle, pyruvate is transaminated to alanine, thus affording an additional route of nitrogen transport from muscle to liver.
- It seemed the mitochondrial OAA must be transaminated or decarboxylated in the cytosol via a malate-OAA shuttle in order to maximize malate-dependent respiration.
