L ASPARGINE FOR BIOCHEMISTRY
L ASPARGINE FOR BIOCHEMISTRY
L-asparagine is an optically active form of asparagine having L-configuration. It has a role as a nutraceutical, a micronutrient, a human metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite, a mouse metabolite and a plant metabolite. It is a tautomer of a L-asparagine zwitterion.
Used for nutritional supplementation, also for treating dietary shortage or imbalance. A non-essential amino acid. Asparagine is critical for the production of the body's proteins, enzymes and muscle tissue. Supplements of this amino acid are claimed to balance nervous system function.
Asparagine is a non-essential amino acid in humans, Asparagine is a beta-amido derivative of aspartic acid and plays an important role in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins and other proteins. A metabolic precursor to aspartate, Asparagine is a nontoxic carrier of residual ammonia to be eliminated from the body.
Function. Asparagine is required for development and function of the brain. The availability of asparagine is also important for protein synthesis during replication of poxviruses.
