Biological function summary
L-aspartate contributes to energy production and biosynthesis of nucleotides. It is often found participating in enzyme complexes and is involved in the citric acid cycle and urea cycle which are significant in energy metabolism and waste removal. L-aspartate also serves as a neurotransmitter influencing brain and nerve function. By regulating the synthesis of other amino acids such as asparagine it maintains cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
L-aspartate integrates into important metabolic pathways like the Krebs cycle and the urea cycle. It plays a role in gluconeogenesis and processes related to energy production. The Krebs cycle where L-aspartate aids in the conversion of carbohydrates fats and proteins into carbon dioxide and water for energy production involves related proteins such as oxaloacetate and malate. Through these pathways L-aspartate ensures the balance of energy and metabolites within cells.
