Description

Asparagine is an amino acid that is a building block of proteins. It is classified as a non-essential amino acid, meaning that it can be synthesized by the body. Asparagine has been shown to activate apoptotic cell death. This occurs when the phosphate group on asparagine binds to the receptor binding domain on the surface of a cell and activates it. The activated receptor causes the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, which in turn activates caspases and leads to apoptotic cell death. In addition, asparagine has been shown to inhibit HIV infection by binding to CD4 receptors. Asparagine also plays a role in ovarian carcinoma, where it is involved in cycle analysis and can be used for therapeutic purposes.
