L-Valine（Cat No.:R057441）is one of the three branched-chain essential amino acids (BCAAs), along with leucine and isoleucine. It plays a critical role in muscle metabolism, tissue repair, and energy production, particularly during physical stress or exercise. L-Valine has a hydrophobic isopropyl side chain, contributing to protein structure and stability. Since it cannot be synthesized by the human body, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. It is commonly used in nutritional formulations, cell culture media, and sports supplements, and is also studied for its potential in treating liver and muscle-related disorders.
