Description

L-Arginine is a nonessential amino acid that is an important precursor for the synthesis of proteins. L-Arginine is also involved in the metabolism of nitric oxide, and may be cardioprotective by preventing myocardial infarcts. L-Arginine is synthesized from citrulline by methylation, which can be inhibited by erythromycin. This inhibition leads to accumulation of l-arginine with subsequent downstream effects on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA synthesis. L-Arginine may also have a role in energy metabolism as it participates in the dinucleotide phosphate cycle.
