Product Description
Valine (symbol Val or V)[3] is an amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. It contains an α-amino (which is in the protonated −NH3+ form under biological conditions), an carboxylic acid group (which is in the deprotonated −COO− form under biological conditions), and a side chain isopropyl group, making it a non-polar aliphatic amino acid. It is essential in humans, meaning the body cannot synthesize it: it must be obtained from the diet. Human dietary sources are foods that contain protein, such as meats, dairy products, soy products, beans and legumes.
