Product Description
Decarboxylation product of L-arginine. Endogenous clonidine-displacing substance in the brain. Putative endogenous neurotransmitter at imidazoline receptors. Antagonist of NMDA receptor. Endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Antiproliferative by its suppresive effect on polyamine.
