• Bioactivity:

  L-Arginine (L-Arg) is a substrate of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) . L-Arginine is transported to vascular smooth muscle cells via a family of cationic amino acid transporters and is metabolized to nitric oxide, polyamines, or L-proline. L-Arginine is a potent vasodilator and can be used to induce experimental acute pancreatitis.
