Description: | Argininosuccinic acid disodium is an endogenous metabolite involved in the fourth step of the urea cycle and is cleaved by Argininosuccinic Acid Cleavage Lyase (ASL) to arginine and fumaric acid. It also decreases reduced glutathione (GSH) concentrations, increases reactive oxygen species production in the cerebral cortex and striatum, and can cause lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation. |
Stability and Solubility Advice: | Information concerning product stability, particularly in solution, has rarely been reported and in most cases we can only offer a general guide. We recommend that stock solutions, once prepared, are stored aliquoted in tightly sealed vials and used within 1 month. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Storage conditions for some special products should refer to their storage details. |
