Ornithine

Non-essential Amino Acid

Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid that functions as a critical intermediate in the urea cycle. It serves as a substrate for the key enzymes ornithine transcarbamoylase, ornithine aminotransferase, and ornithine decarboxylase, facilitating the production of citrulline, proline, and polyamines. This compound is valuable in research related to hyperornithinemia, hyperammonemia, and cancer, providing insights into metabolic pathways and potential therapeutic targets.
