Asparagine is a protein amino acid. It is non-essential in humans, meaning the body can synthesize it.
Asparagine is synthesized from aspartate and glutamine. Asparagine has three major functions:
Optimal range: 15.6 - 62.7 nmol/ML
Asparagine is a non-essential protein amino acid that is present in many fruits and vegetables including asparagus, from which it gets its name. Other dietary sources include meat, potatoes, eggs, nuts, and dairy. It can also be formed from aspartic acid and glutamine using the enzyme asparagine synthetase.
In addition to being a structural component of many proteins, asparagine is also useful to the urea cycle. It acts as a nontoxic carrier of residual ammonia to be eliminated from the body. Asparagine is rapidly converted to aspartic acid by the enzyme asparaginase. Interestingly, L-asparaginase has been successfully used as a chemotherapeutic agent for decades.
It causes extracellular depletion of asparagine which seems to play a critical role in cellular adaptations to glutamine and apoptosis.

Aspartic acid is a nonessential amino acid that plays roles in many important metabolic processes, such as energy production (citric acid cycle), hormone metabolism, CNS activation, and the urea cycle. It is found in many protein sources such as oysters, meats, seeds, avocado, asparagus, and beets. It is also an ingredient in artificial sweeteners.
Aspartic acid is a precursor to many amino acids and other molecules like asparagine, arginine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, isoleucine, threonine, nucleotides, NAD, and pantothenate. Aspartate, like glutamine, can also be considered a neuroexcitatory neurotransmitter since it activates the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor in the brain.

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), sometimes called SGOT, is an enzyme found in liver cells and in smaller amounts in the heart, muscles, kidneys, brain, and other tissues. When these cells become damaged, AST leaks into the bloodstream, causing levels to rise. For this reason, AST is commonly included in liver panels and the comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) to help assess liver function, monitor liver disease, or investigate symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal pain, jaundice, or unexplained muscle issues.
