Description

L-Aspartic acid is an amino acid that plays a role in the biochemical reactions of energy metabolism. This amino acid is also important for the synthesis of proteins, such as enzymes and structural proteins. L-Aspartic acid is synthesized from oxaloacetate by transamination. It can also be synthesized from glutamate by the action of aspartate aminotransferase using pyridoxal phosphate as a cofactor. L-Aspartic acid has been shown to play a role in neuronal death, particularly in primary sclerosing cholangitis, and may have potential therapeutic use for this condition. L-Aspartic acid has been used as a model system to study polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods and analytical methods in biochemistry research.
