Which amino acid&;s deamination takes place in liver?
High-Yield Explanation
Oxidative Deaminaton of Glutamate. Only LIVER iochondria contain glutamte dehydrogenase (GDH) which deaminates glutamteto alpha-ketoglutarate pls ammonia.So,all amino acids are first transaminated to glutamate, which is then finally deaminated ( transdeamination ) Amino acids are deaminated at the rate of about 50-60 gram per day.
