Product Information

• Name: H-Glu-Glu-Leu-OH

Description

H-Glu-Glu-Leu-OH is a vitamin that is essential for the production of hydroxyproline, which aids in the formation of collagen. It is also used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. H-Glu-Glu-Leu-OH is synthesized from glutamate, glutamic acid, and leucine in the liver and kidney. This reaction proceeds by two steps: first, glutamate carboxylase converts glutamate to α-ketoglutarate; then, aspartate aminotransferase converts α-ketoglutarate to aspartate semialdehyde. Aspartate semialdehyde is converted to H-Glu-Glu-Leu by an enzyme called glutamyl aminopeptidase. The reaction mechanism of this enzyme has been studied experimentally and theoretically using sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) as a buffer. The sequential nature
