Metabolite Identification
Common NameSymmetric dimethylarginine
DescriptionSymmetric dimethylarginine, also known as N(g1),N(g2)-dimethylarginine or SDMA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as arginine and derivatives. Arginine and derivatives are compounds containing arginine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of arginine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Symmetric dimethylarginine.
