L-Alanine, N-(carboxymethyl)-, hydrochloride (1:1)

Description:
L-Alanine, N-(carboxymethyl)-, hydrochloride (1:1), commonly referred to as carnosine, is an amino acid derivative characterized by its structure, which includes a carboxymethyl group attached to the amino acid alanine. This compound is typically found as a hydrochloride salt, which enhances its solubility in water. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder, and its molecular formula reflects the presence of both amino and carboxyl functional groups, making it amphoteric in nature. This substance is known for its role in various biochemical processes, including protein synthesis and metabolic pathways. It exhibits properties typical of amino acids, such as being a zwitterion at physiological pH, which allows it to participate in acid-base reactions. Additionally, L-Alanine, N-(carboxymethyl)-, hydrochloride is often utilized in research and pharmaceutical applications, particularly in studies related to metabolism and as a potential supplement for enhancing athletic performance. Its safety profile is generally favorable, but, like all chemical substances, it should be handled with appropriate care in laboratory settings.
