Chemical Structure
L-Arginine
- CAS No.: 74-79-3
- Formula:C6H14N4O2
- Molecular Weight:174.20
IUPAC Name: L-arginine
InChIKey: ODKSFYDXXFIFQN-BYPYZUCNSA-N
SMILES: N[C@@H](CCCNC(N)=N)C(O)=O
Biological Activity: L-Arginine ((S)-(+)-Arginine) is the substrate for the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) to generate NO. L-Arginine is transported into vascular smooth muscle cells by the cationic amino acid transporter family of proteins where it is metabolized to nitric oxide (NO), polyamines, or L-proline. L-Arginine is a potent vasodilator, and can be used to induce experimental acute pancreatitis[1][2][3][4][5].
