L-asparagine (Asn)

Target
Asn
Molecular classification
Amino acid, Non-essential amino acid, α-amino acid
01

Overview

L-asparagine is a non-essential α-amino acid involved in protein synthesis, nitrogen metabolism, and cell signaling. It plays a role in cancer cell growth through protein synthesis regulation and mTORC1 activation. It also serves as a key site for N-linked glycosylation and acts as a precursor for other amino acids.
