Q
Carbomyl Phosphate + Ornithine ->
A
Citrilline + PPi
In Mitochondria
Citrilline leaves Mito Membrane
1
Q
2ATP + NH4 + HCO3 ->
A
Carbomyl Phosphate
Enzyme: Carbomyl Phosphate Synthase
Regulated by N-Acetyl Glutamate
2
Q
Citrulline + Aspartate + ATP ->
A
Argino-Succinate + PPi + AMP
2 ATPs are basically expended
In Cytosol
3
