1. The urea cycle takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of liver cells. It involves several reactions that incorporate ammonia into urea using amino acids as substrates.
2. Disorders of the urea cycle can cause hyperammonemia. The rate limiting step is controlled by carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I. Deficiencies in this or other cycle enzymes, like ornithine transcarbamylase, lead to toxic buildup of ammonia.
3. Clinical features of urea cycle disorders include encephalopathy, respiratory alkalosis, hyperammonemia, and in infants, feeding difficulties and vomiting. Diagnosis involves blood tests measuring pH, amino acid levels, and
