Ammoniogenesis
Definition
The biochemical and physiological process of synthesis and production of ammonia or ammonium ions by the body's cells, located predominantly within the tubular cells of the kidneys. This cellular mechanism plays a fundamental role in maintaining the body's acid-base balance, allowing the excretion of excess hydrogen ions by binding them as ammonium in the urine.
