Basic Information
Product Name: β-Alanine
CAS Number:
Chemical Formula: C7H7NO2
Molecular Weight: 89.09 g/mol
β-Alanine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid that exists in a free form in living organisms and does not participate in protein synthesis. However, its metabolism and applications are of significant importance in fields such as biochemistry, medicine, and food science.
Main Sources
Biosynthesis
In mammals, β-alanine is primarily produced via uracil metabolism as an intermediate in pyrimidine nucleotide catabolism.
Certain bacteria (e.g., Escherichia coli) and plants can also synthesize β-alanine through specific pathways.
Dietary Sources
Higher concentrations are found in animal proteins such as meat and fish, while plant-based foods contain lower levels.
Humans can directly obtain β-alanine from diet or generate it through endogenous metabolism.
