| Bioactivity | γ-L-Glutamyl-L-alanine, composed of gamma-glutamate and alanine, is a proteolytic breakdown product of larger proteins. γ-L-Glutamyl-L-alanine is a natural substrate of the γ-Glutamylcyclotransferase. γ-L-Glutamyl-L-alanine is a positive modulator of calcium-sensing receptor (CaR) function[1][2][3][4]. | ||||||||||||
| Invitro | γ-L-Glutamyl-L-alanine (γ-Glu-Ala) shows the potency for Ca2+i mobilization in CaR (calcium-sensing receptor)-expressing HEK-293 cells, with an EC50 of 4.8 µM[3].γ-L-Glutamyl-L-alanine shows the potency for Ca2+i mobilization in human parathyroid cells with an EC50 of 13.9 µM[3].γ-L-Glutamyl-L-alanine (20 μM) suppress PTH secretion from normal human parathyroid cells[3].γ-L-Glutamyl-L-alanine is a substrate for glutaminase B[4]. | ||||||||||||
