Description

Fmoc-(S)-2-(aminomethyl)-4-methylpentanoic acid is a proteinogenic amino acid that is used in the production of casein and other dairy products. It is also found in wheat, where it can be converted to the essential amino acid methionine. Fmoc-(S)-2-(aminomethyl)-4-methylpentanoic acid is classified as a high-quality protein because it contains all eight essential amino acids (EAAs). It has been shown that when dietary intakes are low, malnourished children may benefit from increased intake of this amino acid.
