L-Norvaline

Description: L-Norvaline is an arginase inhibitor and a non-protein branched-chain amino acid. L-Norvaline has previously been reported as a natural component of the antifungal peptide of Bacillus subtilis. L-Norvaline and other modified branched-chain amino acids have received attention in recent studies because they appear to be incorporated into some recombinant proteins found in E. coli. Target: Arginase, Others, Endogenous Metabolite. Smiles: CCC[C@H](N)C(O)=O. References: Ming, X., Rajapakse, A., Carvas, J., Ruffieux, J., & Yang, Z. (2009). Inhibition of S6K1 accounts partially for the anti-inflammatory effects of the arginase inhibitor L-norvaline. BMC Cardiovasc Disord, 13(9), 12. doi: 10.1186/1471-2261-9-12.
