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...

L-Norvaline is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, an isomer of valine, and an inhibitor of arginase and p70 ribosomal S6 kinase 1 (p70S6K1) kinase. It inhibits arginase-mediated urea production in J774A.1 macrophage lysates when used at a concentration of 10 mM and TNF-alpha-induced p70S6K1 activation in human...
