Properties and stability
1. Citrulline is the same as ornithine. It only exists in the liver and is not a component of protein. It is an important intermediate in the human body’s urea cycle.
2. Found in tobacco leaves.
Storage method
Stored in a cool, dry place and sealed.
Synthesis method��
1. An amino acid isolated from watermelon juice for the first time. Obtained from alkaline hydrolysis of arginine.
Purpose
Amino acid drugs. Can be used in combination with ornithine, arginine, etc. to treat hyperammonemia
