Metabolite Identification
Common NameNitrogen
DescriptionNitrogen, also known as Nitrogen or N#N, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as other non-metal nitrides. These are inorganic compounds of nitrogen where nitrogen has a formal oxidation state of -3, and the heaviest atom bonded to it belongs to the class of 'other non-metals'. Nitrogen exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and possibly neutral molecule. Nitrogen exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, nitrogen is involved in the metabolic pathway called the nitric oxide signaling pathway.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in binding
Specific function:
Catalyzes the transport of 2-oxoglutarate across the inner mitochondrial membrane in an electroneutral exchange for malate or other dicarboxylic acids, and plays an important role in several metabolic processes, including the malate-aspartate shuttle, the oxoglutarate/isocitrate shuttle, in gluconeogenesis from lactate, and in nitrogen metabolism. Maintains mitochondrial fusion and fission events, and the organization and morphology of cristae. Involved in the regulation of apoptosis.
Gene Name:
