Re: where to purchase dipeptides

[Guest guest]

It depends which ones are you looking for? Carnosine is a supplement

sold in vitamin stores, Aspartame is an artificial sweetener sold in

grocery stores, etc...

What are you trying to accomplish?

A dipeptide is a molecule consisting of two amino acids joined by a

single peptide bond.

Examples of dipeptides

* Carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine) is highly concentrated in muscle

and brain tissues.

* Anserine (beta-alanyl-N-methyl histidine) is found in the skeletal

muscle and brain of mammals.

* Homoanserine (N-(4-Aminobutyryl)-L-histidine) is another dipeptide

identified in the brain and muscles of mammals.

* Kyotorphin (L-tyrosyl-L-arginine) is a neuroactive dipeptide which

plays a role in pain regulation in the brain.

* Balenine (or ophidine) (beta-alanyl-N tau-methyl histidine) has been

identified in the muscles of several species of mammal (including man),

and the chicken.

* Aspartame (N-L-a-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester) is an

artificial sweetener.

* Glorin (N- propionyl-γ-L-glutamyl-L-ornithine-δ-lac ethyl ester) is a

chemotactic dipeptide for the slime-mould Polysphondylium violaceum.

* Barettin (cyclo-[(6-bromo-8-en-tryptophan)-arginine]) is a cyclic

dipeptide from the marine sponge Geodia barretti.

I'm looking for dipeptides produced during digestion and used in

parenteral nutrition,

such as glycylalanine and glycylglycine. For instance, is there a manufacturer

who sells direct to the public?

Thank you.
