L-Ornithine α-Ketoglutarate Monohydrate
L-Ornithine is a non-essential amino acid, metabolized to generate L-arginine, which is further incorporated into proteins. α-Ketoglutarate is a key intermediate in the Krebs cycle, coming after isocitrate and before succinyl CoA. Acting as a co-substrate, α-Ketoglutarate also plays important function in oxidation reactions involving molecular oxygen.
