Description

L-Homoarginine is a non-essential amino acid that plays an important role in protein synthesis. L-Homoarginine is synthesized from lysine by the enzyme arginase, and can be converted to nitric oxide by nitric oxide synthase. It has been shown to ameliorate insulin resistance and improve glucose tolerance in animal models. L-Homoarginine also has anti-cancer effects, as it inhibits the phosphatase activity of cancer cells and prevents the production of basic proteins in tumor cells. The anti-cancer effects of L-homoarginine have been demonstrated using monoclonal antibody against human placental alkaline phosphatase (hPLA2) or tissue culture cells containing hPLA2 respectively. L-Homoarginine HCl is a salt form of L-homoarginine that maintains its stability at pH 7.0, and therefore can be used for experiments requiring
