Agmatine

Description:
Agmatine is a biogenic amine derived from the amino acid arginine through the action of the enzyme arginine decarboxylase. It is characterized by its chemical formula C4H11N5 and a molecular weight of approximately 115.16 g/mol. Agmatine is known for its role as a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator in the central nervous system, where it is involved in various physiological processes, including pain modulation, neuroprotection, and regulation of nitric oxide synthesis. It exhibits a range of biological activities, such as potential antidepressant effects and the ability to influence insulin sensitivity. Agmatine is soluble in water and has a basic pH, making it suitable for various biochemical applications. Additionally, it has garnered interest in the fields of nutrition and sports supplementation due to its purported benefits in enhancing performance and recovery. However, further research is needed to fully elucidate its mechanisms of action and therapeutic potential.
