Metabolite: HMDB0015532 (Zinc)
Term: Histidine Metabolism
Definition: after reaching several years of age, humans begin to synthesize it (most likely in the intestinal micrflora) and it thus becomes a non-essential amino acid. humans can obtain histidine through the breakdown of carnosine (a dipeptide containing histidine and beta-alanine) via the action of carnosine dipeptidase.
Parent Term: Biochemical pathway
