Uses

Nα-Fmoc-L-arginine is an N-Fmoc-protected form of L-Arginine (A769505). L-Arginine is an conditionally essential amino acid for humans and adult mammals as it’s requirements exceed production during certain developmental stages in life (such as pregnancy). L-Arginine also prevents blood toxicity from intravenous amino acid administration in humans.
