Metabolite Identification
Common NameAmmonia
DescriptionAmmonia, also known as NH3 or amoniaco, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as homogeneous other non-metal compounds. These are inorganic non-metallic compounds in which the largest atom belongs to the class of 'other non-metals'. Ammonia is a drug. Ammonia is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Ammonia exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Ammonia is a potentially toxic compound. Ammonia, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as carnitine palmitoyltransferase I deficiency, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase deficiency 1, cytosolic, sulfite oxidase deficiency, isolated, and mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency; ammonia has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder hyperdibasic aminoaciduria I.

Specific function:
Catalyzes the last step in the trans-sulfuration pathway from methionine to cysteine. Has broad substrate specificity. Converts cystathionine to cysteine, ammonia and 2-oxobutanoate. Converts two cysteine molecules to lanthionine and hydrogen sulfide. Can also accept homocysteine as substrate. Specificity depends on the levels of the endogenous substrates. Generates the endogenous signaling molecule hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and so contributes to the regulation of blood pressure. Acts as a cysteine-protein sulfhydrase by mediating sulfhydration of target proteins: sulfhydration consists of converting -SH groups into -SSH on specific cysteine residues of target proteins such as GAPDH, PTPN1 and NF-kappa-B subunit RELA, thereby regulating their function (By similarity).
