PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
N-nitrososarcosine is a nitrosamine that is sarcosine in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen has been replaced by a nitroso group. It has a role as a carcinogenic agent. It is a non-proteinogenic amino acid derivative and a nitrosamine. It is functionally related to a sarcosine.
