Argininosuccinate is a non- proteinogenic amino acid. The L-isomer is an intermediate in the urea cycle, and formed there, citrulline and aspartate catalyzed by argininosuccinate synthetase with consumption of ATP. Later in the cycle argininosuccinate is degraded by the argininosuccinate lyase to fumarate and arginine.
