| Blueprint ID | Learning Objectives | | 6384 | Outline the process steps leading from hydrolysis of protein in tissues (muscle, for ex.) and release of free amino acids in muscle, to production of ammonia and aspartate in the liver for urea synthesis. | | 6386 | Describe the steps involved for preparing amino acid nitrogen for delivery to the urea cycle. | | 6388 | Outline the operation of the urea cycle and describe its regulation. | | 11476 | Describe the specific roles of each of the following in transport and elimination of amino acid nitrogen: Glutamate dehydrogenase, ALT, AST, Glutaminase, glutamine synthetase, pyridoxal phosphate, free ammonia/ammonium, deamination, transaminases, glutamate, aspartate, alanine, and glutamine. | | |
