Talk:Urea cycle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think the stoichiometry of urea synthesis should be:

CO2 + 2 NH4+ + 3 ATP + aspartate + 2 H2O --> urea + 2 ADP + 2 Pi + AMP + pyrophosphate (PPi) + fumarate

should be added that it primarly happenes in the liver but other tissues are capable of doiing it, like the brain(to small extend)—Preceding unsigned comment added by M siterman (talkcontribs)
