E. Basic amino acids isolated from the buds of Lupinus (a kind of soybean) which are whitened by E. Schleich and E. Stigger and dissolved in water. The nitrate is white like argent and is called arginine. L-arginine is one of the amino acids that make up the protein, which belongs to the protein protamine that exists in the fish sperm. In herring and salmon, about 70% of the constituent amino acids are arginine. It is also present in free form in plant seeds.

The brain contains arginine and anthraquinones to control the amount of arginine, the precursor of guanidinobutyric acid. In invertebrates, it acts as a phosphagen in the form of arginine phosphate in muscle contraction. It also protects against the toxic effects of ammonia and large amounts of amino acids. It is an essential amino acid for adults, but it is an essential amino acid for infants.

L-arginine is an amino acid that plays an important role in protein synthesis, the production of creatine phosphate necessary for ATP production, and the synthesis of nitrogen oxides, the second messenger in the bloodstream. It prevents the division of amino acids and also serves to expand blood vessels. L-arginine, an important factor in muscle metabolism, transports, stores and excretes nitrogen. It is also a precursor of high energy compounds in muscle, guanidine phosphate, phosphorus arginine and creatine.
