Specification
1. Introduction of DL-Leucine
DL-Leucine, with the systematic name of 2-amino-4-methylpentanoic acid, is one kind of white crystalline powder. It belongs to the following product categories: Amino Acid Derivatives; Leucine [Leu, L]; alpha-Amino Acids; Amino Acids; Biochemistry. The leucine is a kind of an essential amino acid which means that it can not synthesized in animals, hence it must be ingested, usually as a component of proteins. It is always used in the formation of sterols in adipose and muscle tissue. What's more, it is the only dietary protein that has the capacity to stimulate muscle protein synthesis, and L-Leucine is always used as a food additive.
