ornithine
Ornithine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that plays a central role in the urea cycle. The urea cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that occur in many animals to prevent ammonia toxicity. Ornithine is generated from arginine through the enzymatic action of the enzyme arginase and is a precursor of citrulline, which is part of the urea cycle pathway. Despite not being used in protein synthesis, it is considered to be an important part of the metabolic process.
