Description Application • L-Valine has been used as a standard in thin layer chromatography. • It has been used as a supplement in Grace’s antheraea medium for the culture of cells and tissue from invertebrates. • It has been used in the preparation of starvation media to study the role of relA gene in antibiotic resistance in E. coli. Packaging 1 kg in poly bottle 1, 25, 100, 500 g in poly bottle Biochem/physiol Actions Valine is an essential amino acid, involved in the biosynthesis of glutamine and alanine. Valine being a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) maintains a balance among the BCAAs. L-Valine serves as an energy fuel. Long term deficiency of L-Valine leads to growth failure, organ damage and loss of muscle mass.
