Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Arginosuccinic acid is a basic amino acid, which is synthesized by some cells from citrulline, aspartic acid and used as a precursor for arginine in the urea cycle or Citrulline-NO cycle. The reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme argininosuccinate synthetase. Argininosuccinic acid (ASA) is the characteristic biomarker for the diagnosis of certain diseases. Note this product has ~80% purity with impurity ~20% water.
