Asparagine (L-asparagine) (Asn)

Target
Asn
Molecular classification
Amino Acid
01

Overview

Asparagine (symbol: Asn) is a non-essential, polar, aliphatic α-amino acid used in protein biosynthesis. It plays roles in metabolism, ammonia detoxification, and N-linked glycosylation. While not typically a direct drug target, its metabolism and availability are crucial for cell growth and neurological function. Deficiencies or disruptions can impact brain development.
