Description

General description

Arginine (Arg) is a dibasic amino acid and exists as two enantiomers: D-Arg and L-Arg. D-Arg is a cationic endogenous amino acid and is found in the central nervous system.

Application

D-Arginine has been used:

as an organic substrate to study the metabolic versatility of freshwater sedimentary archaea feeding on different organic carbon sources
to study its role in the inhibition of Pseudorabies virus (PRV) plaque formation by arginase
as a reference standard for chromatographic separation

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-Arginine is a semi-essential amino acid that maintains cell death in the central nervous system (CNS). It may possess neuroprotective actions against glucocorticoids induced neurotoxicity in the CNS.
