CAS 1190-49-4: Homocitrulline
Description:Homocitrulline, with the CAS number 1190-49-4, is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that is structurally related to citrulline. It is characterized by the presence of a guanidino group, which is a key feature of amino acids involved in the urea cycle and nitrogen metabolism. Homocitrulline is typically found in certain biological systems and can be produced through the post-translational modification of proteins or as a byproduct of metabolic processes. It is known to play a role in various physiological functions, including the regulation of nitric oxide synthesis, which is crucial for vascular health. In terms of solubility, homocitrulline is generally soluble in water, making it accessible for biological interactions. Its presence in biological fluids can be indicative of certain metabolic conditions, and it may serve as a biomarker for specific diseases. Overall, homocitrulline is an important compound in biochemistry, contributing to our understanding of amino acid metabolism and its implications in health and disease.
