Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-a-Acetyl-L-arginine
DescriptionN-a-Acetyl-L-arginine, also known as N-ac-L-arg-OH, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-l-alpha-amino acids. These are n-acylated alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as uremia and colorectal cancer; N-a-acetyl-L-arginine has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder hyperargininemia. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on N-a-Acetyl-L-arginine.
