Metabolism of Arginine in Invertebrates : Relation to Urea Cycle and to Other Guanidine Derivatives

  • Chapter
Book cover Urea Cycle Diseases

Part of the book series: Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology ((AEMB,volume 153))

Abstract

The metabolism of arginine in invertebrates, even when limited to its relation to urea cycle and to the biosynthesis of the other guanidine derivatives, is somewhat complex. This is due, in a large part, to the number and disparity of the invertebrate phyla, and to the resulting dispersion of the data.
