ChEBI: An N2-acyl-L-ornithine where the acyl group is specified to be acetyl.

Nα-Acetyl-L-ornithine is used in the identification of type 2 diabetes group through topological analysis of patient similarity.

Nα-Acetyl-L-ornithine (AORN) is a substrate for the identification, differentiation and characterization of N(α)-acetyl-L-ornithine deacetylase(s) and of N-Acetyl-l-ornithine transcarbamylase(s) (AOTCase) found in plants, some eubacteria and some human pathogens.
