(±)-Leucine (Cat.No: I018263) is a racemic mixture of the essential amino acid leucine, containing both L- and D-forms. Leucine is critical in protein synthesis, muscle repair, and metabolic regulation. The L-form is biologically active and plays a key role in activating mTOR signaling, which regulates cell growth and metabolism. The D-form is studied for its potential roles in microbial metabolism and certain biochemical processes. (±)-Leucine is widely used in research to explore protein function, metabolic pathways, and amino acid interactions.
