L-Ornithine-α-ketoglutarate (CAS 5191-97-9)
QUICK LINKS
L-Ornithine-α-ketoglutarate is a salt formed by the combination of ornithine and α-ketoglutarate, both of which are important intermediates in the urea cycle and the citric acid cycle, respectively. L-Ornithine-Α-Ketoglutarate plays a role in the metabolism of amino acids and the detoxification of ammonia. L-Ornithine-α-ketoglutarate is involved in the production of urea, for the excretion of nitrogenous waste products. It is a precursor for the synthesis of polyamines, which are important for cell growth and proliferation. L-Ornithine-α-ketoglutarate may act to have potential benefits in promoting wound healing and tissue repair. Its role in the regulation of nitrogen metabolism and its involvement in cellular processes make it an important compound in biochemistry.
