isoleucine

  • Name: isoleucine
  • Description: An unspecified stereoisomerism form of isoleucine. One of nine essential amino acids in humans (present in dietary proteins), Isoleucine has diverse physiological functions, such as assisting wound... healing, detoxification of nitrogenous wastes, stimulating immune function, and promoting secretion of several hormones. Necessary for hemoglobin formation and regulating blood sugar and energy levels, isoleucine is concentrated in muscle tissues in humans. Isoleucine is found especially in meats, fish, cheese, eggs, and most seeds and nuts. (NCI04). Ageing studies have showns this metabolite to be in different levels in old healthy people's blood compared to young healthy people, making it a biomarker for the ageing process. (NCI Thesaurus:C29598, PNAS April 19, 2016 113 (16) 4252-4259).
