Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Arginine
DescriptionD-Arginine, also known as D-arginine or DAR, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as d-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the D-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. D-Arginine is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). D-Arginine can be converted into 2-oxoarginine through its interaction with the enzyme D-amino-acid oxidase. In cattle, D-argininee is involved in the metabolic pathway called the D-argininee and D-ornithine metabolism pathway.
