Proline and Arginine Catabolism to Glutamate Semialdehyde

The video discusses the degradation of arginine and proline into glutamate gamma semi aldehyde. It explains the role of enzymes like arginase and ornithine transcarbamoylase in arginine degradation. The video also covers proline degradation, focusing on proline oxidase and its role in apoptosis, highlighting the generation of reactive oxidative species and the involvement of P53 protein.
