Description

Glutamylphenylalanine is a molecule that is used for the diagnosis of fatty acid metabolism disorders. It can be detected in urine and blood, as well as in biological samples such as plasma, serum, or tissue. Glutamylphenylalanine is also an amino acid that has been shown to be an important component of the energy metabolism pathway. It is found in foods such as milk, cheese, eggs, and meat. The levels of glutamylphenylalanine are significantly higher in chronic kidney disease patients than in healthy individuals. This molecule may also play a role in bladder cancer development because it has been shown to inhibit protease activity and block acetic acid production.
