Difference between Citrulline and Essential amino acid

Citrulline vs. Essential amino acid

The organic compound citrulline is an α-amino acid. An essential amino acid, or indispensable amino acid, is an amino acid that cannot be synthesized ''de novo'' (from scratch) by the organism, and thus must be supplied in its diet.

Similarities between Citrulline and Essential amino acid

Citrulline and Essential amino acid have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amino acid, Arginine, Ornithine, Urea cycle.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.
