Which amino acid is regarded as collector of amino groups?
First step in catabolism of amino acids is the transfer of NH3 group from amino acid to Alpha Keto- Glutarate forming Glutamate- known as Transamination. So Glutamate is regarded as collector of amino groups. Note:-The safe non-toxic form of ammonia transpo in blood from most body tissues is Glutamine. Collector is Glutamate, transpoer is Glutamine
Aspaate
Arginine
Cysteine
Glutamate
Urea cycle
