Ref. 3D-FB48487

Product Information

• Name: Boc-DL-leucine hydrate
• Synonyms: Boc-DL-Leu-OH·H2O(RS)-Boc-2-amino-4-methyl-pentanoic acid hydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Boc-DL-leucine hydrate is a chemotactic peptide that is composed of the amino acid leucine and a hydroxylated derivative of the amino acid phenylalanine. It has been shown to be an effective activator of neutrophils, which are cells involved in the inflammatory response. Boc-DL-leucine hydrate has also been shown to activate eosinophils, which are cells involved in allergic responses. Boc-DL-leucine hydrate activates neutrophils by binding to specific receptors on their surface, while it binds to eosinophils through other receptors not found on neutrophils. This peptide has been shown to have a high bioactive potential and can be used as an analogue for the design of other bioactive molecules.
