Abstract excerpt
Argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) catalyzes the reversible hydrolysis of argininosuccinate to arginine and fumarate, a reaction important for the detoxification of ammonia via the urea cycle and for arginine biosynthesis. ASL belongs to a superfamily of structurally related enzymes, all of which function as tetramers and catalyze similar reactions in which fumarate is one of the products. Genetic defects in the ASL...
