==Function== ==Function==
Citrulline is a metabolic intermediate within the ], which is the pathway by which mammals excrete ammonia by converting it into urea. Citrulline is also produced as a byproduct of the enzymatic production of nitric oxide from the amino acid arginine, catalyzed by nitric oxide synthase. In the yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae, citrulline is a metabolic intermediate in the latter, cytosolic half of the arginine biosynthesis pathway.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://pathway.yeastgenome.org/YEAST/new-image?object=CITRUL-BIO2-PWY | title=Saccharomyces cerevisiae citrulline biosynthesis }}</ref>
Although citrulline is not coded for by ] directly, several proteins are known to contain citrulline as a result of a ]. These citrulline residues are generated by a family of enzymes called peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs), which convert arginine into citrulline in a process called ] or deimination. Proteins that normally contain citrulline residues include ] (MBP), ], and several ] proteins, whereas other proteins, such as ] and ] are susceptible to citrullination during cell death and tissue ].
