Argininosuccinic acid is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that is an important intermediate in the urea cycle. It is also known as argininosuccinate.

Reactions

Some cells synthesize argininosuccinic acid from citrulline and aspartic acid and use it as a precursor for arginine in the urea cycle (or citrulline-NO cycle), releasing fumarate as a by-product to enter the TCA cycle. The enzyme that catalyzes the reaction is argininosuccinate synthetase.

Argininosuccinic acid is a precursor to fumarate in the citric acid cycle via argininosuccinate lyase.
