Product Details
Molecular Formula
C3H7NO2
Description
DL-Alanine is a racemic mixture of alanine, a non-essential alpha-amino acid. Alanine is one of the most common residues for protein synthesis and is involved in the metabolism of tryptophan and vitamin pyridoxine. Furthermore, alanine is an important source of energy for muscles and central nervous system. It strengthens the immune system, helps in the metabolism of sugars and organic acids, and displays a cholesterol-reducing effect in animals.
Storage
Keep in dark place,Inert atmosphere,Room temperature
Applications
DL-alanine is an amino acid, a racemic compound of L- and D-alanine. DL-alanine, together with aqueous silver nitrate, is used for nanoparticle generation as a reducing agent and an end-sealing agent. DL-alanine can be used for the chelation of Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(11) and other transition metals. DL-alanine is a sweetener, placed in the same group as glycine and saccharin sodium. DL-alanine plays a key role in the glucose-alanine cycle between tissues and the liver.
