Ontological Term Details

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
