The Urea cycle is a biochemical pathway in which the free ammonia is converted into urea so that it can be easily excreted.
Urea is the major end product of nitrogen metabolism in humans.
Deficiencies of the various enzymes and transporters involved in the urea cycle can cause urea cycle disorders:

N-Acetylglutamate synthase deficiency
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase deficiency
Ornithine transcarbamoylase deficiency
Citrullinemia (Deficiency of argininosuccinic acid synthase)
Argininosuccinic aciduria (Deficiency of argininosuccinic acid lyase)
Argininemia (Deficiency of arginase)
Hyperornithinemia, hyperammonemia, homocitrullinuria syndrome (Deficiency of the mitochondrial ornithine transporter)
Most urea cycle disorders are associated with hyperammonemia, however argininemia and some forms of argininosuccinic aciduria do not present with elevated ammonia.

Organisms that cannot easily and quickly remove ammonia usually have to convert it to some other substance, like urea or uric acid, which are much less toxic. Insufficiency of the urea cycle occurs in some genetic disorders (inborn errors of metabolism), and in liver failure. The result of liver failure is accumulation of nitrogenous waste, mainly ammonia, which leads to hepatic encephalopathy.

Mnemonics If someone needs ;
Orange- Ornithine
Colored- Carbamoyl Phosphate
Cats- Citrulline
Always- Aspartate (enters the cycle)
Asks- Argininosuccinate
For- Fumarates (leaves the cycle)
Awesome- Arginine
Umbrella- Urea (leaves the cycle)

Wow...50 slides that took me over an hour to learn meanwhile this is literally the most simple thing ever. Thank yiu

[giancdsingh]

Legitimately had no idea what was going on in lecture...this cleared everything up so quickly! THANK

[chinmayeechavan]

Dude, you literally saved me 😭😭😭....this short video just made so much sense than my textbook

[laibasheikh]

You are a saviour man. I have my biochemistry exam in 3 days. It helped a lot.

[ElinaCreates]

You are my lifesaver today!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!

[akanshapriya]

Omggg .... I've never heard someone with such an amazing voice 😱

this video made my all concepts cleared...i was wasting time on searching on google...but u made it easy...thanku bless u👌😊

[rachelkantharia]

Easiet explanation thank you so much tomorrow is my exam and because of u i am able to complete urea cycle ❤🤎🥰

[okonkwopaula]

Please can you make a video on neuclotide metabolism 🙏🙏🙏

[queensta]

Your video just saved me on my test today. God bless you

[하늘구십오]

Sir!!! Hats off to you for this wonderful technique!! I was literally getting a headache looking at the topic but all thanks to you and your amazing knowledge..Words won't be enough to describe how you saved the day! Thankyou!!

[mphowilliart]

thank you is not even sufficient long bro

[mincityambience]

I admit, I underestimated the video without seeing it properly... It's actually really concrete and summoned, great video, thank you👍👍👍👍👍

[clairehandy]

Thank you this was a great simplification of how ammonia is buffered!

[KomalYadav-pofr]

I didn't imagine that it can be simplified to this extent. Thankyou soooo much for uploading this. May god give more and more knowledge 🙏🏻

[huma-e-zil]

you saved me....I have my exam tomorrow and trust me you saved my time 💓
