L-Homocitrulline is a carbamoylated derivative amino acid and a structural analog of L-citrulline. L-Homocitrulline serves not only as an intermediate in polypeptide synthesis but also converts into a variety of cyclic derivatives under enzymatic or acidic conditions. The level of L-Homocitrulline is significantly elevated in the serum of patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), with high diagnostic accuracy. L-Homocitrulline also exists in patients with related diseases such as hypercitrullinemia. L-Homocitrulline is a key biomarker for monitoring abnormal liver metabolism and is widely used in NAFLD research[1][2][3].
