Beschreibung

DL-3-Aminoisobutyric acid (LAA) is a metabolite of the amino acid L-arginine. It is produced in the liver by the enzyme arginase and can be used to diagnose hepatic steatosis. It is also found in urine and human serum, as well as in microbial metabolism. LAA has been shown to regulate gene transcription and metabolism through its ability to inhibit the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter that regulates energy metabolism and metabolic disorders. In addition, LAA has been shown to have antioxidant properties, which may be related to its role in caproic acid biosynthesis.
