Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-ornithine
DescriptionD-Ornithine is 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. D-Ornithine has been identified in the human placenta (PMID: 32033212 ).
