Description
The tripeptide trileucine (Leu-Leu-Leu) is found in casein and soy protein. This substance could increase the endothelial release of TXB
2 which is a stable marker of TXA
2. Inhibitor of human liver alanine aminopeptidase, Ki 0.054 mM. The addition of trileucine improved the aerosol performance and stability of spray-dried powders for inhalation.
Chemical Properties
LEU-LEU-LEU is also known Trileucine. It is a white solid powder and soluble in DMSO.
Uses
Leu-Leu-Leu could be used to synthesize Cl
-.H
2+-Leu-Leu-Leu-OMe (a hydrochloric acid salt of Peptide derivative IIa).
Definition
ChEBI: A tripeptide formed from three L-leucine residues.
