HNB Supply Citrulline L- Citrulline 99% Powder CAS 372-75-8
Citrulline is a α- Amino acids, with the chemical formula C6H13N3O3, are generated from ornithine and aminoformyl phosphates in the urea cycle, or are by-products of the production of NO from arginine catalyzed by nitric oxide synthase (NOS).
"When citrulline is still an amino acid, it is not encoded for DNA, so it is not embedded in proteins during protein biosynthesis. However, some proteins still contain citrulline.". These citrullines are produced by the peptide arginine ammoniase (PAD), which converts arginine to citrulline during citrullination. Generally, proteins containing citrulline include human myelin basic protein (MBP), polykeratin microfilament protein, and some histones. Cellulose and vimentin, for example, can be ammoniated from cell death and tissue inflammation.
