Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Alanine
DescriptionL-Alanine, also known as (S)-alanine or L-alpha-alanine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alanine and derivatives. Alanine and derivatives are compounds containing alanine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of alanine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. L-Alanine is a drug which is used for protein synthesis. L-Alanine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. L-Alanine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. L-Alanine is a potentially toxic compound. L-Alanine has been found to be associated with several diseases known as eosinophilic esophagitis, late-onset preeclampsia, autism, and perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment; also l-alanine has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including glucagon deficiency.

General function:
Involved in DNA binding
Specific function:
Inhibitor subunit of the major nuclear protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1). It has RNA-binding activity but does not cleave RNA and may target PP-1 to RNA-associated substrates. May also be involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Binds DNA and might act as a transcriptional repressor. Seems to be required for cell proliferation.
