Ornithine (()-Ornithine) is a non-essential amino acid. Ornithine is an intermediate in urea cycle and acts as a substrate for these rate limiting enzymes ornithine transcarbomylase, ornithine aminotransferase and ornithine decarboxylase producing citrulline, proline and polyamines, respectively. Ornithine can be used in the research of hyperornithinemia, hyperammonemia, and cancer[1].
