Alanine
Nonessential amino acid, alpha-aminopropanoic acid, occurring in proteins. High levels also occur free in plasma. It is synthesized from pyruvate and is used as a dietary supplement. An important source of energy for muscle tissue, the central nervous system and brain. Strengthens the immune system by producing antibodies, helps in the metabolism of sugars and organic acids

alanine (Ala; alpha-aminopropionic acid)
Say it
(A, CH3CH(NH2)COOH) A naturally occurring aliphatic amino acid which is required for protein synthesis but is not essential in the diet. Beta-alanine (NH2CH2CH2COOH) also occurs naturally.

Alanine
Alanine (abbreviated as Ala or A) is an α-amino acid with the chemical formula HO2CCH(NH2)CH3. The L-isomer is one of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids, i.e. the building blocks of proteins. Its codons are GCU, GCC, GCA, and GCG. It is classified as a nonpolar amino acid. L-alanine is second only to leucine, accounting for 7.8% of the primary structure in a sample of 1,150 proteins. D-alanine occurs in bacterial cell walls and in some peptide antibiotics.
