Description

General description

L-arginine monohydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt form of L-arginine, an essential amino acid that plays a crucial role in several biological processes. It is commonly used in biology and biochemistry research as a cell culture supplement to support the growth and maintenance of various cell types.

Application

L-Arginine monohydrochloride has been used in mouse pancreas perfusion experiments.[1] It has also been used as a component of SILAC medium.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Arginine is a dibasic, semi-essential amino acid. It acts as a precursor for creatinine and is a natural constituent of most of the dietary proteins.[3]

Substrate of nitric oxide synthase, which is converted to citrulline and nitric oxide (NO). Induces insulin release by a nitric oxide-dependent mechanism.

Features and Benefits

• Suitable for Cell Culture and Biochemical research
