Threonine

Threonine is a macroinorganic acid, which is a basic amino acid and an important component of protein. It is involved in various biological processes, including metabolism, nervous and immune systems. The main source of threonine is protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, dairy products and eggs.

The peculiarity of threonine is that it is a catalyst in a number of metabolic reactions and is actively involved in the formation of enzymes, in particular in the synthesis of immunoglobulins and in the process of lipid metabolism. Threonine contains sulfhydryl and amino groups in its structure. The amino group allows it to bind to other protein molecules, and the sulfidryl group promotes deamination, reduction and oxidation of the amino acid. In the human body, threonine is one of the main amino acids in proteins and is necessary for the normal functioning of many systems and organs, such as bone and cartilage tissue,
