Which amino acid provides the NH 4 + for the formation of carbamoyl phosphate?

Here it says, which amino acid provides the Ammonium ion for the formation of the carbamoyl phosphate group? So remember, where is this Ammonium ion coming from in terms of processes? We know that it comes from oxidative deamination. Remember, under oxidative deamination, we have, our glutamate molecule being oxidized to create our alphaketoglutarate plus the Ammonium Ion. So here, we are oxidizing Glutamate in order to make, yes, Alpha Ketoglutarate, but more importantly for this question, the Ammonium Ion. So the amino acid that provides the Ammonium ion is Glutamate Ion which is being oxidized in order to form that Ammonium ion as one of the products.
