Mechanism of Action & Research Applications
L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine releases glutamine and alanine upon enzymatic cleavage. Glutamine serves as a crucial fuel for rapidly dividing cells and supports nucleotide synthesis, while alanine contributes to energy metabolism. This makes the dipeptide especially useful in:
Cell culture systems where long-lasting glutamine supply is needed
Parenteral nutrition models to provide stable amino acid support
Metabolic studies involving glutamine’s role in anabolic and stress responses
Animal studies investigating gastrointestinal absorption and muscle metabolism
Side Effects (For Research Context Only)
When used in controlled experimental conditions, L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine may influence cell growth rates, ammonia metabolism, or nitrogen balance. It is generally well tolerated in in vitro and in vivo models when dosed appropriately, with no significant adverse effects reported in standard research protocols.
