One of the twenty amino acids commonly present in proteins of living systems. A to F | G to L | M to R | S to Z
a crystalline amino acid that occurs in many proteins
Helps to strengthen cellular structure. Can be useful as a source of glucose production.
An amino acid. BCAAs are used as a source of energy for muscle cells. During prolonged exercise, BCAAs are released from skeletal muscles and their carbon backbones are used as fuel, while their nitrogen portion is used to form another amino acid, Alanine. Alanine is then converted to Glucose by the liver. This form of energy production is called the Alanine-Glucose cycle, and it plays a major role in maintaining the body's blood sugar balance.
Protein derived. Used as a skin conditioner.
an important source of energy for muscle tissue, the brain, and central nervous system; strengthens the immune system by producing antibodies; helps in the metabolism of sugars and acids.
An amino acid, one of the 20 building blocks of protein. Alanine is not an "essential" amino acid. It is not essential to the diet, but can be made by the body from other substances. Alanine was discovered in protein in 1875. Symbol: Ala.

(A, CH3CH(NH2)COOH) Ala; alpha-aminopropionic acid. A naturally occurring aliphatic amino acid which is required for protein synthesis but is not essential in the diet. Beta-alanine (NH2CH2CH2COOH) also occurs naturally.
an amino acid found in many moisturizers
a nonessential amino acid.
Is a non essential amino acid that is released from muscle and used for glucose synthesis and energy production in the liver.
A non-essential amino acid in mammals. It contains an aliphatic methyl group as its sidechain. [ see schematic diagram
Alanine (Ala, A) also 2-aminopropanoic acid is a non-essential α-amino acid. It exists as two distinct enantiomers - L-alanine and D-alanine. L-alanine is one of the 20 amino acids most widely used in protein synthesis, second to leucine, accounting for 7.8% of the primary structure in a sample of 1,150 proteins .
