The urea cycle, also known as the ornithine cycle, is a series of biochemical reactions in the liver that convert ammonia, which is highly toxic, into urea for excretion by the kidneys. This cycle plays a crucial role in removing excess nitrogen, derived from amino acid catabolism, from the body. The main steps of the cycle involve the conversion of ammonia and carbon dioxide into urea, which is then transported to the kidneys and excreted in the urine. The urea cycle is essential for maintaining the body’s nitrogen balance and preventing the accumulation of toxic levels of ammonia in the bloodstream.
