Description

Aspartic acid is an amino acid that belongs to the group of aspartates. It is synthesized in the human body and used in biochemical reactions. Aspartic acid has been shown to play a role in cancer, bowel disease, and fibrosis. The chemical properties of aspartic acid have been studied using various model systems such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and p-nitrophenyl phosphate assay. Aspartic acid is a substrate for the enzyme asparaginase, which converts it into asparagine, another amino acid that can be used by the body.
