Oxidative deamination.html



Oxidative deamination is a form of deamination that generates oxoacids in the liver.

The presence of nitrous acid can cause transition mutations, by converting cytosine to uracil.¹²

In Urea cycle

Glutamate is the only amino acid that undergoes rapid oxidative deamination. This process leads to 2 toxic products:

• Hydrogen Peroxide
• Ammonia.

• Monoamine oxidase
