Oxidative Deamination Amino Acid & Nitrogen Metabolism · Mitochondrial matrix
step 3
Irreversible
L-asparagine + H₂O → L-aspartate + NH₄⁺
Converts Asparagine H2O into Aspartate NH4+
› Notes
Asparaginase catalyzes irreversible deamidation, providing a smaller additional source of ammonia. The resulting aspartate can be transaminated to oxaloacetate and glutamate or can donate nitrogen to the urea cycle.
