The initial rate of incorporation of [15N]alanine into the 6-amino group of the adenine nucleotides in rat hepatocytes was about 1/18 of the rate of incorporation into urea. Thus the purine nucleotide cycle cannot provide most of the ammonia needed in urea synthesis for the carbamoyl phosphate synthase reaction (EC 2.7.2.5). On the other hand, contrary to the view expressed by McGivan and Chappell, the experiments support the view that hepatic glutamate dehydrogenase can supply the required ammonia.
