MeAIB

SKU: orb2900929

Description

MeAIB (α-(Methylamino)isobutyric acid) is a specific substrate for amino acid transport system A (ATA1). ATA mediate the uptake of short-chain neutral amino acids in a Na+-dependent manner.

• Formula: C₅H₁₁NO₂
• SMILES: CNC(C)(C)C(O)=O
• Solubility: In Vitro: H2O : 100 mg/mL (853.61 mM; Ultrasonic)DMSO : 50 mg/mL (426.80 mM; ultrasonic and warming and adjust pH to 2 with 1M HCl and heat to 60°C)

Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  ATA3 is a new subtype of amino acid transport system A, primarily expressed in the liver and skeletal muscle. ATA1 (also known as GlnT) and ATA2 (also known as SAT2), have been cloned from rat and human tissues. These transporters mediate the uptake of short-chain neutral amino acids in a Na+-dependent manner.
