(3R)-3-Amino-4-methylpentanoic acid

Description:

(3R)-3-Amino-4-methylpentanoic acid, also known as L-leucine, is an essential branched-chain amino acid that plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and metabolic processes. It is characterized by its aliphatic side chain, which contributes to its hydrophobic nature, making it important for the structural integrity of proteins. This amino acid is typically found in high concentrations in muscle tissue and is vital for muscle repair and growth. L-leucine is also involved in regulating blood sugar levels and stimulating insulin secretion. The compound has a chiral center, with the (3R) configuration indicating its specific stereochemistry, which is significant for its biological activity. It is soluble in water and exhibits a neutral pH in solution. As a dietary supplement, L-leucine is often used by athletes and bodybuilders to enhance muscle recovery and performance. Its CAS number, 75992-50-6, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases and regulatory contexts.
