L-Citrulline, an amino acid, is derived from ornithine during the catabolism of proline, glutamate, or glutamine, and also from L-arginine via the arginine-citrulline pathway.

L-Citrulline (Standard) is available for quantitative analysis.) L-Citrulline is a non-essential amino acid involved in the nitric oxide cycle and the urea cycle, promotes vasodilatation, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, is orally available, and crosses the blood-brain barrier through LAT1. It is an agonist of eNOS (endothelial nitric oxide synthase), iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase), and mTORC1 (rapamycin targeting protein complex 1), and an inhibitor of SREBP-1 (sterol regulatory element binding protein 1).
