描述
Citrullin, also known as cit or 2-amino-5-uredovaleric acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as alpha amino acids. Alpha amino acids are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Citrullin is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Citrullin can be found in a number of food items such as cow milk, sesame, orange bell pepper, and pepper (c. frutescens), which makes citrullin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
