Umthengisi we-Alanine CAS: 56-41-7

I-Alanine yi-amino acid enokusebenza njengearhente yokulungisa ulusu. Ihlala isetyenziswa kunye nezinye ii-amino acids. I-Alanine (ekwabizwa ngokuba yi-2-aminopropanoic acid, i-α-aminopropanoic acid) yi-amino acid enceda umzimba ukuguqula i-glucose elula ibe ngamandla kwaye isuse iityhefu ezigqithisileyo esibindini. Ii-amino acids zezona zakha iiproteni ezibalulekileyo kwaye zibalulekile ekwakheni izihlunu ezomeleleyo nezisempilweni. I-Alanine yeyee-amino acids ezingezizo ezibalulekileyo, ezinokuveliswa ngumzimba. Nangona kunjalo, zonke ii-amino acids zinokuba zibalulekile ukuba umzimba awukwazi ukuzivelisa. Abantu abatya ukutya okuneproteni ephantsi okanye iingxaki zokutya, isifo sesibindi, isifo seswekile, okanye iimeko zemfuza ezibangela i-Urea Cycle Disorders (UCDs) banokufuna ukuthatha izongezo ze-alanine ukuze baphephe ukungabikho.
