Description

Histidine is a non-essential amino acid that is necessary for the functioning of the human body. It is involved in the synthesis of proteins and enzymes, as well as being an important component of DNA and RNA. Histidine has been shown to have a variety of physiological activities, including enzyme activities, hydroxyl group binding, polyclonal antibody production, and protein synthesis. The molecule can also be found in pharmaceutical preparations such as insulin and some antihistamines. Histidine is neutral with a pH level between 6.5 and 7.5. It is essential for dietary intake because it cannot be synthesized by humans.
