Description

DL-Leucylglycine is a complex enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycine to yield dipeptides. It is involved in energy metabolism and can be found in the mitochondria. DL-Leucylglycine has been shown to have important regulatory roles in the body, such as inhibiting δ receptors and kappa-opioid receptors, which are involved in pain reception. This enzyme also plays a role in radiation protection and has been used by researchers to study hydrogen bonding interactions between molecules.
