lcitrulline

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.

2-Amino-5-ureidopentanoic acid (Citrulline) exists in the liver, is not a protein component, is an important intermediate in the human urea cycle, can be combined with ornithine, arginine to treat hyperammonemia.

D-Citrulline (H-D-Cit-OH), a stereoisomer of L-citrulline, effectively reduces cardiac contractile dysfunction caused by polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) in isolated perfused rat hearts undergoing ischemia/reperfusion. This protective effect is mediated through a non-NO-mediated mechanism.

Citrulline malate is a cpd of anti-fatigue.

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).
