What it does, reaction by reaction
Urea Cycle Amino Acid & Nitrogen Metabolism · Mitochondrial matrix + cytosol
Citrulline + L-aspartate + ATP → argininosuccinate + AMP + PPᵢ
Converts Citrulline Aspartate ATP into Argininosuccinate AMP PPi
› Notes
Cytosolic argininosuccinate synthetase (ASS1) activates citrulline and adds aspartate. MgATP is cleaved to AMP + PPᵢ, making this an essentially irreversible step that consumes two additional high-energy phosphate equivalents.
