MSH: A non-essential amino acid that is involved in the metabolic control of cell functions in nerve and brain tissue. It is biosynthesized from ASPARTIC ACID and AMMONIA by asparagine synthetase. (From Concise Encyclopedia Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 3rd ed),CSP: non-essential amino acid that is involved in the metabolic control of cell functions in nerve and brain tissue; biosynthesized from aspartic acid and ammonia by asparagine synthetase.,NCI: Amino acid with side chain -CH2CONH2.,NCI: A non-essential amino acid in humans, Asparagine is a beta-amido derivative of aspartic acid and plays an important role in the biosynthesis of glycoproteins and other proteins. A metabolic precursor to aspartate, Asparagine is a nontoxic carrier of residual ammonia to be eliminated from the body. Asparagine acts as diuretic. (NCI04)
