Abstract: The asparaginase II pathway consists of an asparagine transaminase [L-asparagine + α-keto acid ⇆ α-ketosuccinamate + L-amino acid] coupled to ω-amidase [α-ketosuccinamate + H2O → oxaloacetate + NH4+]. The net reaction is: L-asparagine + α-keto… read more here.

Abstract: α-Keto acids may help prevent malnutrition in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), who consume protein-restricted diets, because they serve as amino acid sources without producing nitrogenous waste compounds. However, the physiological roles of α-keto… read more here.
