Product Information

• Name: Leu-Ala-OH
• Synonyms: L-Leucyl-L-alanine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Leu-Ala-OH is a conjugated amino acid that is a substrate for the enzyme ubiquitin ligases. It is involved in protein synthesis and may be used to treat hypertension. Leu-Ala-OH has been shown to inhibit the production of amines, which are precursors to nitrosamines and other harmful compounds. Leu-Ala-OH also has antihypertensive activity that may be due to its ability to react with the enzyme cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6). This reaction leads to an increased production of catecholamines, which have been shown to lower blood pressure in hypertensive animals.
