valine

A branched-chain essential amino acid that has stimulant activity. It promotes muscle growth and tissue repair. It is a precursor in the penicillin biosynthetic pathway.

DL-Valine (H-DL-Val-OH) is 2-amino-3-methylbutanoic acid.It is synthesized in plants via several steps starting from pyruvic acid.

Glycyl-L-valine is a dipeptide composed of glycine and valine. It is an incomplete breakdown product of protein digestion or protein catabolism.

3-hydroxybutyric acid is involved in the synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies. Like the other ketone bodies (acetoacetate and acetone), levels of beta-hydroxybutyrate are raised in the blood and urine in ketosis. Beta-hydroxybutyrate is a typical pa

Acetylvaline (Ac-Val-OH) is used as an indicator of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, obesity and retinopathy.

DL-Norvaline (2-Aminopentanoic acid) is a non-competitive inhibitor of arginase.

L-Norvaline is an arginase inhibitor and a non-protein branched-chain amino acid. L-Norvaline has previously been reported as a natural component of the antifungal peptide of Bacillus subtilis. L-Norvaline and other modified branched-chain amino acids have received attention in recent studies because they appear to be incorporated into some recombinant proteins found in E. coli.

Aureusimine B, also known as phevalin, is a natural pyrazinone produced by certain fungi and by Staphylococcus spp., including S. aureus. Its synthesis appears to be initiated by a conserved nonribosomal peptide synthetase that creates a dipeptide (phenylalanine-valine) aldehyde, which then undergoes cyclization and oxidation. Aureusimine B inhibits calpain in a casein hydrolysis assay (IC50 = 1.3 μM), contributes to S. aureus infection in mice, and alters human keratinocyte gene expression.

(S)-b-aminoisobutyric acid is a non-protein amino acid originating from the catabolism of valine and thymine.

H-Val-Ala-OH (Valyl-alanine) is a dipeptide formed from L-Valine and L-Alanine residues. It has a role as a metabolite. H-Val-Ala-OH is a dipeptide formed from L-Valine and L-Alanine residues.
