| Description | L-Homocitrulline (Homocitrulline) is a metabolite that can be detected in larger amounts in the urine of individuals with urea cycle disorders. The accumulation of carbamyl phosphate due to a depleted supply of ornithine for the urea cycle may be responsible for the enhanced synthesis of L-Homocitrulline and homoarginine in some cases. |
