L-Ornithine Hydrochloride(CAT: R013634) is the hydrochloride salt form of L-ornithine, a non-proteinogenic amino acid involved in the urea cycle. With the molecular formula C₅H₁₂ClN₂O₂, it appears as a white crystalline powder, freely soluble in water. L-Ornithine plays a key role in ammonia detoxification and nitrogen metabolism, making its hydrochloride form valuable in biochemical research, clinical nutrition, and pharmaceutical development. It is often used as a dietary supplement ingredient, liver health support agent, and precursor for polyamine biosynthesis studies. In laboratory applications, L-Ornithine Hydrochloride serves as a stable, easily handled form of the amino acid for metabolic and enzymatic investigations.
