β-Alanine is an N-blocked form of alanine. A nonselective endogenous glycine receptor agonist; a taurine analogue; an electrolyte.
β-Alanine, a β -amino acid, is a component of pantothenic acid and the rate-limiting amino acid in the biosynthesis of the histidinyl antioxidant dipeptides carnosine and anserine. Endogenous β-amino acid that is a nonselective agonist at glycine receptors and a ligand for the G protein-coupled orphan receptor, TGR7 (MrgD). β-Alanine flux plays a cytoprotective role by supporting the osmotic stability of marine organisms, preimplantation mouse embryos and mammalian cells exposed to hypoxic stress.
β-Alanine is used in the synthesis of pantothenic acid and derivatives; as buffer in electroplating.
Soluble in water (100 mg/mL - clear, colorless solution).
