| Common Name |
D-Ornithine |
| Description |
An amino acid produced in the urea cycle by the splitting off of urea from arginine.
Ornithine is one of the products of the action of the enzyme arginase on L-arginine, creating urea. Therefore, ornithine is a central part of the urea cycle, which allows for the disposal of excess nitrogen. |
