Product Information

• Name: L-Dihydroorotic acid
• Synonyms: L-4,5-Dihydroorotic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-Dihydroorotic acid is a natural compound that can be found in plants, animals and humans. It has been shown to have an important role in mitochondrial functions, as it is involved in the synthesis of NADH and ATP. L-Dihydroorotic acid can also be used as a substrate for enzymatic reactions, such as dehydrogenase or dihydroorotate dehydrogenase. The rate constants for these reactions are high, which makes L-dihydroorotic acid a good model system for studying biochemical properties. L-dihydroorotic acid also inhibits cyclin D2/CDK4 protein kinases.
