D-Alanyl-L-leucine (Cat No.: R038913) is a dipeptide composed of D-alanine and L-leucine, often used in biochemical and pharmaceutical research to study peptide transport and metabolism. Its structure, featuring a D-amino acid, makes it resistant to enzymatic degradation, allowing it to serve as a model compound for drug delivery studies and peptide transporter assays. D-Alanyl-L-leucine is valuable in exploring absorption mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract and assessing the pharmacokinetics of peptide-based therapeutics, especially for optimizing oral bioavailability and stability in drug design.
