Produktinformation

• Name: D-Phenylalanine methyl ester
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: D-Phenylalanine methyl ester is an analogue of the amino acid phenylalanine. It inhibits fatty acid synthesis by competitively binding to the enzyme acyl carrier protein, which regulates the incorporation of fatty acids into phospholipids. This inhibition prevents the production of cell membrane lipids and leads to cell death. D-Phenylalanine methyl ester has been used as a diagnostic agent for cancer because it can be detected in urine samples. It has also been shown to have growth factor activity, which may be responsible for its anticancer properties.
