Product Information

• Name: L-Homoglutamine
• Synonyms: 6-Oxo-L-lysine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-Homoglutamine is a non-essential amino acid that is an important part of the urea cycle. It also plays a role in protein synthesis, as well as in transfer reactions, such as the conversion of ammonia to urea. L-Homoglutamine has been shown to be an inhibitor of binding to collagenase, which may have therapeutic applications for diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. This amino acid has been used in enzyme preparations and has been found to have biological properties that are similar to those of other carbonyl amino acids (e.g., L-glutamic acid).
