The Urea Cycle Allows Synthesis of Arg from Orn.
This metabolic cycle is incomplete in insects due to lack of Orn transcarbamylase, thereby preventing synthesis of Arg from Orn. Aphids lack all enzymes of the urea cycle but contain endosymbiont Buchnera bacteria that are capable of Arg biosynthesis from Orn.
