Asparagine

Molecular Formula:C4H8N2O3
CAS No.:70-47-3
Molar mass: 132.12 g mol−1
Product Description：
Asparagine (abbreviated as Asn or N; Asx or B represent either asparagine or aspartic acid) is one of the 20 most common natural amino acids on Earth. It has carboxamide as the side chain's functional group. It is not an essential amino acid. Its codons are AAU and AAC.
A reaction between asparagine and reducing sugars or reactive carbonyls produces acrylamide (acrylic amide) in food when heated to sufficient temperature. These products occur in baked goods such as french fries, potato chips, and roasted coffee.
Applications:
The nervous system requires asparagine. It also plays an important role in the synthesis of ammonia.
