Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences Aspartate Assay Kit suffic
Supplier: Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences MAK0951KT
Aspartate the carboxylate anion of aspartic acid is an acidic non-essential amino acid involved in protein synthesis and multiple other cellular biochemical pathways. Aspartate contributes to nucleotide synthesis via the synthesis of the precursor inosine mono-phosphate. In the urea cycle aspartate is a key metabolite donating a nitrogen group towards the formation of urea. Aspartate is also critical for oxidative phosphorylation as part of the aspartate-malate shuttle which transfers reducing equivalents across the mitochondrial membrane.
