L-Leucine, AJI92 grade, is a high-quality biochemical compound that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. It is an essential amino acid that cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. L-Leucine has been extensively studied for its potential benefits in cancer treatment and muscle protein synthesis. In cancer research, L-Leucine has shown promising results as an electrode material for electrochemical detection of cancer biomarkers. Its unique properties make it an ideal candidate for developing highly sensitive and accurate diagnostic tools. Additionally, L-Leucine has been used in lignin model experiments to understand the structure and function of this complex polymer found in plant cell walls. Furthermore, L-Leucine has been investigated for its role in promoting muscle growth and preventing muscle wasting. It acts as a building block for protein synthesis, which is essential for repairing damaged muscles and supporting overall muscle health. Athletes and fitness enthusiasts often use L-Leucine supplements to enhance their performance

L-Leucine plays a vital role in hemoglobin formation, protein synthesis and metabolic functions. It assists the growth and repair of muscle and bone tissue. It is used in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - Lou Gehrig's disease. It prevents the breakdown of muscle proteins after trauma or severe stress and may be beneficial for individuals with phenylketonuria. It is also used as a food additive and flavor enhancer. Further, it is used to preserve muscle glycogen. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
