The main sites for oxidative deamination are:

A
Liver and kidney
B
Skin and pancreas
C
Intestine and mammary gland

Lung and spleen
High-Yield Explanation
Only liver mitochondria contain glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) which deaminates glutamate to alpha keto glutarate plus ammonia. The hydrolysis of glutamine also yields NH3 but this occurs mainly in the kidney where the NH4+ excretion is required for acid-base regulation. Reference: Vasudevan 7th  ed, pg 202
