Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-methionyl-L-alanine
DescriptionL-Met-L-Ala, also known as M-A or methionylalanine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dipeptides. These are organic compounds containing a sequence of exactly two alpha-amino acids joined by a peptide bond. L-Met-L-Ala is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on L-Met-L-Ala.
