Descrizione

N-alpha-Acetyl-L-ornithine is an intermediate in the urea cycle that has been shown to be a potential biomarker for metabolic disorders. It has also been shown to inhibit glutamate synthesis and nitrogen oxidation by inhibiting arginase and nitric oxide synthase. N-alpha-Acetyl-L-ornithine is synthesized from L-arginine and acetyl coenzyme A, catalyzed by synthetases. The reaction requires ATP, magnesium ion, and a molecule of NADPH. This synthetic pathway can be monitored using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). N-alpha-Acetyl-L ornithine can be used as a precursor in the production of caproic acid, which is an important organic acid used in chemical biology.
