L-Alanine 98.5-101%

What is L-Alanine? L-Alanine is an amino acid with the chemical formula C₃H₇NO₂. It is a non-essential amino acid, meaning the body can synthesise it, and plays a key role in protein synthesis. L-Alanine is involved in the metabolism of glucose, the formation of pyruvate, and the regulation of blood sugar levels. It also contributes to the biosynthesis of other amino acids and serves as an important energy source for muscle tissue during exercise. L-Alanine is commonly used in biochemical research, nutrition supplements, and pharmaceutical formulations. It is sometimes known by alternate names such as α-Alanine or 2-Aminopropanoic acid.

Frequent Uses

Biochemical and Cellular Research
Widely used in biochemical research, where it plays a role in studies of protein synthesis, metabolic pathways, and amino acid balance. It is essential for understanding cellular metabolism and energy utilisation, particularly in muscle cells and during exercise.

Pharmaceutical Applications
In pharmaceutical formulations, it is often used as an ingredient in treatments designed to support protein metabolism, maintain muscle mass, and aid in tissue repair. Its role in energy metabolism also makes it relevant for addressing metabolic disorders.

Energy Production in Muscles
Plays a role in the production of glucose from protein during exercise, providing muscles with a crucial energy source. Its involvement in glucose-alanine cycles helps balance energy and maintain performance during prolonged physical activity.

Amino Acid Metabolism Studies
Frequently used in studies of amino acid metabolism and its interactions with other nutrients and metabolic pathways. Researchers rely on it to understand how amino acids like L-Alanine influence various metabolic processes such as the urea cycle and protein turnover.

Cosmetic and Skincare Products
Used in some skincare formulations due to its role in maintaining skin health. It supports the synthesis of collagen and other structural proteins, helping to maintain skin elasticity and hydration, and may be found in anti-ageing and moisturising products.

Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering
Sometimes used in fermentation processes or cell culture media to support the growth and maintenance of cells. It is a valuable nutrient in recombinant protein production, as well as in studies of protein folding and function in engineered systems

• Used as a flavouring agent in food and beverage products
• Used in the production of biodegradable plastics
• Used in the production of laboratory reagents and biochemicals
• Used as a feed additive for livestock to improve growth and overall health.
