Product Information

• Name: Ac-Gly-Leu-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-phenylalanine is an amino acid that has a sweet taste. It is one of the 20 amino acids encoded by the universal genetic code, and is classified as a polar amino acid because it has a hydroxyl group on its side chain. L-Phenylalanine is used in the food industry as a sweetener and to enhance salty or acidic flavors. Phenylalanine has been shown to be an important precursor for several important neurotransmitters in the brain. This includes serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Phenylalanine also plays a role in protein metabolism and enzyme activity, including aminopeptidases and racemases, which are enzymes that catalyze reactions involving racemic mixtures.
