Name: gamma-glutamylleucine
Description: gamma-glutamylleucine is a dipeptide composed of gamma-glutamate and leucine, and is a proteolytic breakdown product of larger proteins. It belongs to the family of N-acyl-alpha amino acids and der... ivatives. These are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. gamma-glutamylleucine is an incomplete breakdown product of protein digestion or protein catabolism. Some dipeptides are known to have physiological or cell-signaling effects although most are simply short-lived intermediates on their way to specific amino acid degradation pathways following further proteolysis. gamma-glutamylleucine is a biomarker for the consumption of whey protein. It is found in urine (PMID: 3782411 ). It is a glutamyl-L-amino acid obtained by formal condensation of the gamma-carboxyl group of glutamic acid with the amino group of leucine. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is a conjugate acid of a gamma-Glu-Leu(1-). (HMDB0011171; CHEBI:68433, 27-August-2019)
