Aspartic acid, also known as aspartate, is one of the 20 amino acids that serve as the building blocks of proteins. It is a non-essential amino acid, meaning that it can be synthesized by the human body and does not need to be obtained from the diet. Aspartic acid plays several important roles in biological processes. It is involved in the biosynthesis of other amino acids, such as asparagine and arginine, and serves as a precursor for the production of neurotransmitters like aspartate and glutamate, which are important for brain function. Aspartic acid also participates in the urea cycle, which is responsible for removing excess nitrogen from the body.Additionally, aspartic acid plays a role in energy metabolism, serving as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, where it contributes to the production of ATP, the cells primary energy source.
