Uses
N-Acetyl-L-alanine has been used to study its effect on cytosolic and mitochondrial reduction-oxidation sensitive green fluorescent protein (roGFP).
Definition
ChEBI: An N-acetyl-L-amino acid that is L-alanine in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is replaced by an acetyl group.
Biochem/physiol Actions
N-Acetyl-L-alanine may be used with other L-aminoacylated amino acids as a substrate for the identification, differentiation and characterization of aminoacylase(s)/amidohydrolase(s).
