Oxidative deamination

Oxidative deamination is a form of deamination that generates oxoacids in the liver.

The presence of nitrous acid can cause transition mutations, by converting cytosine to uracil.

In Urea cycle
Glutamate is the only amino acid that undergoes rapid oxidative deamination. This process leads to 2 toxic products:
 * Hydrogen Peroxide
 * Ammonia.
