CAS:<p>Beta-cyano-l-alanine is a naturally occurring amino acid that is found in plants. It is synthesized by the enzyme beta-cyanoalanine synthase and is involved in plant metabolism. Beta-cyano-l-alanine is a precursor of the neurotransmitter gamma aminobutyric acid, or GABA, which has been shown to regulate the opening and closing of calcium channels in brain cells. In addition, it has been shown to inhibit enzymes such as phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase that are involved in the breakdown of glucose and other nutrients. Beta-cyano-l-alanine has also been shown to inhibit ryanodine receptors and other enzymes involved in muscle contraction. This amino acid can be used as an indicator for tissue culture experiments because it can be detected by sephadex G-100 chromatography.</p>Formula:C4H6N2O2Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White PowderMolecular weight:114.1 g/molβ-cyano-L-Alanine
