Valine 

structure

Description

Solid


Valine(2-amino-3-methylbutyric acid) is one of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins. It is an essential 8 amino acids and glucogenic amino acids for the human body. And Valine works with isoleucine and leucine to promote normal body growth, repair tissues, regulate blood sugar, and provide the required energy.


ChEBI: L-valine is the L-enantiomer of valine. It has a role as a nutraceutical, a micronutrient, a human metabolite, an algal metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It is a pyruvate family amino acid, a proteinogenic amino acid, a valine and a L-alpha-amino acid. It is a conjugate base of a L-valinium. It is a conjugate acid of a L-valinate. It is an enantiomer of a D-valine. It is a tautomer of a L-valine zwitterion.

Valine Use and Manufacturing

Valine works with two other high-concentration amino acids (isoleucine and leucine) to promote normal growth, repair tissues, regulate blood sugar, and provide necessary energy. In addition, valine's role includes stimulating the central nervous system, which is essential for proper mental function. During strenuous physical activity, valine can provide muscles with extra energy to produce glucose, preventing muscle weakness. It also helps remove excess nitrogen (a potential toxin) from the liver and transports the nitrogen the body needs to various parts of the body. Valine may also help treat liver and gallbladder diseases, as well as damage to these organs caused by alcoholism and drug abuse. Valine supplements may be considered for those engaged in heavy physical activity, those on low-protein diets, and bodybuilders. Although available in standalone forms, it is best taken with isoleucine and leucine. Choosing a mixed valine supplement is more convenient. However, it is important to note that excessive valine intake can lead to skin sensitivities and even hallucinations. Furthermore, too much valine in the diet can increase the amount of ammonia in the body, which can have a damaging effect on liver and kidney function.

Drug Function and Efficacy

Essential amino acids are the basic units for protein synthesis. Lack of these amino acids will lead to protein synthesis disorders in the body.
