Description
Histidine is biosynthesized from ATP, 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP), and glutamine. In turn, histidine is degraded to glutamate by histidase, urocanase, and imidazolonepropionase via the formation of urocanate, 4-imidazolone 5-propionate, and N-formiminoglutamate.
- Has been used to study cultures of the human T-lymphoblastic leukemia cell line MOLT-4 to study modulation of apoptosis

- Utilized as a single nitrogen source to probe swarming in Pseudomonas aeruginosa on agar
