1 Ornithine carbamyltransferase 2 argininosuccinate synthetase 3 argininosuccinate lyase 4 arginase 

Secondary products are synthesized from L-arginine in microorganisms, plants and animals. 

L-Arginine originates from L-ornithine, carbamyl phosphate and the amino group of L-aspartic acid (Fig. 236).
