Linked from

The 10 pages that link to Aspartic acid, each with the reason it gives.

• GlutamateCompared with: Aspartate is excitatory too, but glutamate is the dominant transmitter.

• AspartameBroader topic: It is one of the two amino-acid components of aspartame.

• Urea cycleRelated: It supplies one of the two nitrogen atoms incorporated into urea.

• Glutamic acidCompared with: It is a related excitatory amino acid with a shorter side chain than glutamate.

• CaspaseRelated: Caspases characteristically cleave peptide bonds after aspartate residues.

• AsparagineCompared with: It differs from asparagine by replacing the side-chain amide with a carboxyl group.

• OrnithineRelated: Its nitrogen joins the cycle after ornithine has formed citrulline.

• CitrullineRelated: Aspartate supplies the second nitrogen that is ultimately removed as urea.

• Angiotensin IRelated: Angiotensin I begins with an N-terminal aspartic acid residue.

• Oxaloacetic acidRelated: It is the direct amino-transfer product of oxaloacetate.
