Alanine

Alanine is one of the most important amino acids, which plays a key role in protein biosynthesis and body metabolism. This important amino acid component can be found in a variety of foods such as meat, fish, dairy products and vegetables, but can also be obtained synthetically.

Alanine is a classic example of an aminocarboxylic acid (an acid that contains one or two amino acids). It was discovered in 1824 by the German chemist Carl Friedrich von Reichenbach. In his honor, the element of the same name, which was named a few years later in honor of Carl Friedrich von Reichenbach, received its name (C3H5NO2).

Of particular interest is the fact that alanine is the main material for the synthesis of polypeptides and the production of proteins. There are also many enzymes that are used in the human body that are derivatives of or dependent on aline for their functions. Alain deficiency can lead to various diseases and disorders such as protein deficiency, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, scabies or sepsis.

Although alanine has high biological activity, it also has its uses in other areas. For example, this material is used to make explosives, rocket fuels or household substances. In the synthesis of steroid hormones, bio
