Urea Synthesis and Excretion in Aedes aegypti Mosquitoes Are Regulated by a Unique Cross-Talk Mechanism

Aedes aegypti mosquitoes do not have a typical functional urea cycle for ammonia disposal such as the one present in most terrestrial vertebrates. However, they can synthesize urea by two different pathways, argininolysis and uricolysis. We investigated how formation of urea by these two pathways is...
