N-acetylalanine

view
  • Name: N-acetylalanine
  • Description: N-acetylalanine (NAA) is the N-acetylated derivate of alanine, one of the smallest chiral amino acids. An important physiologi- cal function of alanine is the transport of pyruvate and glutamate fr... om the muscles to the liver, a process, which is called the glucose–alanine cycle (PMID:22088559). The author does not specifies the stereoisomerism form of the metabolite.
