Amino acid catabolism · accounts for ~ 10% of energy requirement of adults · When: · excess protein in diet · protein degradation exceeds demand for new protein · starvation when carbohydrates are not available · protein storing seeds such as beans, peas, etc. · Glucogenic vs ketogenic amino acids · ketogenic: yield AcCoA or AcAc as end products of catabolism - leu, lys · glucogenic: are degraded to pyruvate or a member of the TCA cycle (succinylCoA, OAA, a-ketoglutarate, fumarate). In absence of sugars, glucogenic amino acids permit continued oxidation of fatty acids by maintaining TCA cycle intermediates. - ile, phe, tyr, trp · glucogenic and ketogenic: yield both ketogenic and glucogenic products. - all others
2. 4. • N catabolism • General strategy: • · removal of N from amino acid by transamination (generally • first or second step of amino acid catabolic pathways) and • · collection of N in glutamic acid • · deamination of glutamic acid with release of NH4+ • -glutamate dehydrogenase 3. Collection of N in glutamine or alanine for delivery to liver ·removal of NH4+ by : i. secretion; or ii. conversion to urea or other less toxic form.
