(±)-Aspartic acid(Cat No.:R020332)is a racemic mixture containing equal amounts of the D- and L-enantiomers of aspartic acid, a non-essential, acidic amino acid. While the L-form is incorporated into proteins and plays key roles in the urea cycle and neurotransmission, the D-form is involved in neuroendocrine regulation and is found in specific tissues like the brain and testes. The racemate is used in biochemical research, pharmaceutical synthesis, and as a building block in peptide chemistry. It serves as a versatile intermediate in developing chiral molecules and studying enantiomer-specific biological functions.
