Alanine is an amino acid that classified as non-essential
amino acid. It can be developed into glucose in amino cycle because it is part
of the glucogenic amino acid. The molecular structure of the alanine is simple
Alanine is available in food. Meat, egg, gelatin, fish, milk, and dairy
products are the example of the alanine from animal sources. Besides that, it
is also able to be got in plant. Alanine can be got from rice, soy, nuts, corn,
seeds, etc.
The synthesis of the alanine is not too complicated. Alanine
is part of the manufacture of the human body. Alanine consists of many types of
amino acid. From that, reaction can be made in the form of transamination.
Transamination is a transfer from one amino acid to another. Then, it can
create new amino acid. Alanine is made in the muscle from the reaction of
glutamic acid and pyruvic acid.
