Description

L-(+)-Asparagine acts as a precursor to aspartate. It is also used as a diuretic. It is also employed in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins and proteins. It acts as a food additive. It reacts with reducing sugar to yield acrylamide, which finds application in french fries, potato chips, and toasted bread. It plays an important role in the function and development of the brain. Further, it is useful for human body, physically and mentally. In addition to this, it is used in cell culture media and is a component of (2-methoxyethoxy)methyl (MEM) non-essential amino acid solution.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
