L-Asparagine (hydrate)

L-Asparagine is a non-essential amino acid. It is formed from L-aspartic acid and L-glutamine (Cay-23716) by asparagine synthetase (ASNS), and it is deamidated by L-asparaginase to produce L-aspartic acid and ammonia. L-Asparagine (0.3 mM) reverses ASNS siRNA knockdown-induced decreases in proliferation in a panel of six human cancer cell lines, indicating that both exogenous and endogenous L-asparagine promote proliferation of these cells. Formulations containing L-asparagine have been used as dietary supplements.CAS Number: 5794-13-8. Molecular Formula: C4H8N2O3 . H2O. Formula Weight: 150.1. Purity: >95%.
