Short Description
Quantifies L-Alanine levels.
Brand
LipidFlux
Development Stage
Research-Grade Lipid Metabolism Assay Development
Description
The LipidFlux™ L-Alanine Assay Kit investigates the glucose-alanine cycle to understand muscle protein catabolism and gluconeogenic flux in metabolic disorders. Specific detection of L-alanine validates amino acid turnover rates, which is vital for researching cachexia and muscle-wasting conditions. This tool supports the development of nutritional and pharmacological strategies to maintain muscle mass and metabolic balance.

Background
L-Alanine is a non-essential amino acid involved in the glucose-alanine cycle between tissues and the liver. It facilitates the removal of toxic ammonia from muscle and supports gluconeogenesis.
