Which process involves the formation of non-essential amino acid from keto acid?
The alpha amino group of amino acid can be transferred to alpha keto acid to form the corresponding new amino acid and alpha keto acid .This is a impoant reaction in the body for the interconversion of amino acids and for the synthesis of non-essential aminoacids. For example: Aminogroup is exchanged between alanine and glutamic acid .In almost all cases,the amino group is accepted by alpha ketoglutaric acid so that glutamic acid is formed.
