Merck, H6034-100G, L-Histidine

L-Histidine is a proteinogenic amino acid and an essential amino acid required for histamine production. This positively charged amino acid is vital for growth, tissue repair, myelin sheath maintenance, and histamine synthesis. Histamine plays critical roles in immunity, gastric secretion, and more. L-Histidine is essential for blood cell production and tissue protection against radiation and heavy metals. L-Histidine plays a role as a metabolite and also acts as a cofactor in enzyme protection during protein synthesis. It is an L-enantiomer of histidine and is necessary for histamine synthesis and human development. L-Histidine finds applications in cell culture, metabolomics and biochemical research.
