Metabolite Identification
Common NameBeta-Leucine
DescriptionBeta-Leucine, also known as (S)-homo-beta-val or b-leucine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as beta amino acids and derivatives. These are amino acids having a (-NH2) group attached to the beta carbon atom. Beta-Leucine, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder vitamin B12 deficiency. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Beta-Leucine.
