Synonyms: Urea cycle

A sequence of chemical reactions that was partially deduced by Kurt Henseleit and Sir Hans Adolf Krebs, occurring primarily in the liver, by which ammonia is converted to urea in mammalian tissue. Also known as the ornithine citrulline arginine urea cycle, this cycle also serves as a major source of the amino acid arginine.
