Carbamyl phosphate disodium salt (CPD) is an important intermediate in the biosynthesis of various compounds, including amino acids and nucleotides. It serves as a catalyst in the synthesis of peptides and proteins. It is also a key component of the urea cycle, which is responsible for the metabolism of nitrogen-containing compounds in the body. In this metabolic pathway, Carbamyl phosphate disodium salt is converted to carbamoyl phosphate, then to ornithine, followed by citrulline, then arginine, and finally to urea which is excreted in the urine. In addition, Carbamyl phosphate disodium salt is involved in the synthesis of various amino acids, including arginine, glutamine, and proline.
