General description

L-Arginine Monohydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of L-Arginine, an essential, basic amino acid. As a cationic amino acid, L-Arginine contains a guanidino group in its side chain, which gives it a strong positive charge at physiological pH and contributes to its roles in various biochemical and cellular processes. The hydrochloride form enhances the compound′s solubility and stability, making it suitable for a wide range of aqueous applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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