The removal of amino groups from molecules.
The removal of an amino acid from a molecule. Some amino acids can be converted to glucose in a process that begins.
The process by which amino acids are broken down in the liver and urea is formed.
A process, occurring in the liver, that occurs during the metabolism of amino acids. The amino group (-NH2) is removed from an amino acid and converted to ammonia, which is ultimately converted to urea and excreted.
The process of removal of the amino group, NH2, from amino acids not required for building up body protein. This is carried out mainly in the liver by means of an enzyme, deaminase. The fatty acid residue is either burnt up to yield energy, or is converted into glucose.
The biochemical process that takes place within the liver, involves the removal of the nitrogen-containing group from an amino acid, which is subsequently transformed into ammonia.
