DictionarySeeurea cycleKrebs-Henseleit cycle
Krebs-Henseleit cycle[′krebz ′hen·sə‚līt ‚sī·kəl] (biochemistry) A cyclic reaction pathway involving the breakdown of arginine to urea in the presence of arginase. Krebs-Henseleit cycle
u·re·a cy·clethe sequence of chemical reactions, occurring primarily in the liver, that results in the production of urea; the key reaction is the hydrolysis of l-arginine by arginase to l-ornithine and urea; l-ornithine is then converted to l-citrulline by a carbamoylation reaction, then to l-argininosuccinate by an amination reaction involving l-aspartic acid; finally, a lyase-dependent step generates arginine and fumarate. Synonym(s): Krebs-Henseleit cycle, Krebs ornithine cycle, Krebs urea cycle, ornithine cycleHenseleit, K., German internist, 1907–. Krebs-Henseleit cycle - see under Krebs, Sir Hans Adolph
