Orotic acid potassium (Vitamin B13 potassium) is a precursor of pyrimidine bases and is involved in the synthesis of DNA and RNA. Orotic acid potassium stimulates the growth of animals, plants and microorganisms, participates in carbohydrate metabolism, and is necessary for the growth and life activities of organisms. Orotic acid potassium is a measurement indicator in routine newborn screening for urea cycle abnormalities. Orotic acid potassium can cause hepatic steatosis and hepatomegaly in rats[1][2][3][4].
