Other Notes
Product of arginine degradation by arginase
Application
Use as a media supplement to support the biosynthesis of polyamines.
General description
L-Ornithine is an amino acid that is not coded for by the
genetic code. It is formed during the decomposition of argininine by
arginase and participates in the urea cycle. Ornithine is the starting
point for the formation of a family of polyamines that include spermine,
spermidine and putrescine.
