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.

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.
