L-arginine degradation L-arginine degradation via ADI pathway GO:0019547 PMID:12406748 pathway KEGG:map01110 UPa:UPA00254 PMID:12399499 PMID:15006749 arginine deiminase (ADI) pathway Degradation of L-arginine via ADI (arginine deiminase) pathway. In this pathway, L-arginine is converted into ornithine and carbamoyl-phosphate. Carbamoyl-phosphate is further converted into ammonia and CO2 with the concomitant production of ATP. This last part is described as an independant pathway. KEGG:map01100 PMID:16385025 KEGG:map00330 amino-acid degradation
