smpdb.ca/view/SMP0126795MetabolicN-Acetyl-3-methylhistidine, an N-acetyl-L-amino acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as histidine and derivatives. … N-Acetyl-3-methylhistidine is an acetylated derivative of 3-methylhistidine and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa).
Metabolism and Physiological Effects of N-alpha-Acetyl-L-arginine
smpdb.ca/view/SMP0125530MetabolicArginnosuccinate is synthesized from citrulline and aspartic acid by the enzyme argininosuccinate synthase. That is catalyzed by argininosuccinate lyase to produce arginine and fumaric acid. … In the blood it works as a uremic toxin to cause kidney damage, cardiovascular disease and neurological deficits.
