Product Details
Molecular Formula
C7H13NO3S
Description
N-acetyl-L-methionine is an L-methionine derivative that is L-methionine in which one of the amine hydrogens is substituted by an acetyl group. It has a role as a nutraceutical. It is a N-acetyl-L-amino acid, a L-methionine derivative and a N-acetylmethionine. It is a conjugate acid of a N-acetyl-L-methionine(1-). It is an enantiomer of a N-acetyl-D-methionine.
Solubility
methanol: soluble100mg/mL, clear, colorless
Storage
Sealed in dry,Room Temperature
Applications
N-Acetyl-L-methionine is a form of the amino acid methionine. It is an intermediate in the conversion of L-methionine to S-adenosylmethionine, which is involved in methylation reactions in cells. N-Acetyl-L-methionine has been shown to be effective against nitrite ion, a reactive nitrogen species that causes oxidative stress and damage to DNA, RNA, and proteins. It also has been shown to have biological properties for the prevention of ischemia reperfusion injury following cardiac arrest and liver transplantation. N-acetyl-L-methionine may also have benefits for individuals with high body mass index or rats with liver microsomes.
