Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Asparagine
DescriptionL-Asparagine, also known as Asn or aspartamic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as asparagine and derivatives. Asparagine and derivatives are compounds containing asparagine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of asparagine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. L-Asparagine is a drug which is used for nutritional supplementation, also for treating dietary shortage or imbalance. L-Asparagine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. L-Asparagine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. L-Asparagine is a potentially toxic compound. L-Asparagine has been found to be associated with several diseases known as pregnancy, cystic fibrosis, gout, and leukemia; also l-asparagine has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including celiac disease.
