Description

D-Norvaline is a non-protein amino acid that is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of L-norvaline. It is synthesized from D-alanine by the racemase enzyme and converted to L-norvaline by the hydrolysis of an acetyl group. D-Norvaline has shown inhibitory effects on gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and chloride ion channels, which may be helpful for treating t2d patients. Norvaline binds to GABA with high affinity and inhibits the opening of chloride ion channels in the central nervous system.

D-Norvaline can be found in a number of plants, including soybeans, peanuts, wheat, rice, potatoes, corn, and barley. This non-protein amino acid has been shown to have a molecular weight of 194.2 g/mol and a solubility of 3 mg/mL at 25°C in water. It has a pKa value of
