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.
