metabolism | liver mitochondria actively catalyze the cleavage of glycine into methylene-THF, CO2, and ammonia, but fail to appreciably catalyze CO2 formation from the alpha-carbon of glycine. The one-carbon compound derived from glycine in the avian livers is utilized largely for the synthesis of uric acid. The yields of 14C-hypoxanthine from 14C-glycine, especially from glycine-2-14C, are significantly increased by the addition of mitochondria to the soluble liver fraction, and under these conditions the ratio of the yields of 14C-hypoxanthine from glycine-l-14C and 2-14C rises to 1:2.3 | Columba sp. |
