Amino Acids Kit

Alanine (Ala) is a non-polar α-amino acid. L-Ala is the 2nd most abundant of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids. However, D-Ala is mainly present in some peptide antibiotics and bacterial cell walls.

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), also known as Glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) is a transaminase that is related to the more liver specific alanine transaminase (ALT).

Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), also known as serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) or alanine transaminase (ALAT) is a transaminase enzyme.

Glutamate is an acidic proteinogenic amino acid and is a non-essential amino acid.

Sarcosine is a natural amino acid that is present in muscles and other body tissues.

L-amino acids are found in proteins during translation in the ribosome.

Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound produced from methionine and lysine.

Aspartate (Asp) is an α-amino acid.

Hydroxyproline is a common nonproteinogenic amino acid.

Glutamine (Gln) is a non-essential amino acid and is synthesized via condensation of glutamate and ammonia.
