Ammonia Metabolism

Molecular classification: Metabolic Pathway

Overview

Ammonia metabolism refers to the biochemical processes by which ammonia (NH₃), a nitrogen-containing compound, is produced, transported, detoxified, and excreted in living organisms. Ammonia is generated primarily from the breakdown of amino acids during protein catabolism and must be efficiently managed due to its toxicity at elevated concentrations.
