Alpha-aminosuccinamic Acid
Alpha-aminosuccinamic Acid Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
A non-essential amino acid that is involved in the metabolic control of cell functions in nerve and brain tissue. It is biosynthesized from aspartic acid and ammonia by asparagine synthetase. (From Concise Encyclopedia Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 3rd ed)
A non-essential amino acid. Alpha-aminosuccinamic Acid is critical for the production of the body's proteins, enzymes and muscle tissue. Supplements of this amino acid are claimed to balance nervous system function.

How Alpha-aminosuccinamic Acid works
Alpha-aminosuccinamic Acid, a non-essential amino acid is important in the metabolism of toxic ammonia in the body through the action of asparagine synthase which attaches ammonia to aspartic acid in an amidation reaction. Alpha-aminosuccinamic Acid is also used as a structural component in many proteins.
