The Longitudinal Effects of Beta-Alanine on Punch Power, Punch Frequency, and Fatigue in Female Amateur Fighters
<p>Beta-alanine is a non-essential amino acid typically obtained in the diet via high-protein foods (beef, chicken, pork, and fish) and produced in the confines of the liver. BA is a precursor to the cytoplasmic dipeptide carnosine (beta-alanylhistidine). Carnosine is found in high concentrations …

Biochemical studies of enzymes in insect cuticle hardening
… (ADC) is at the center of this dissertation. beta-alanine, the product of ADC-catalyzed reaction from aspartate, is the component of an important sclerotizing reagent, N-beta-alanyldopamine; the levels of beta-alanine in insects regulate the concentrations of dopamine, therefore affecting …

Sideroflexins enable mitochondrial transport of polar neutral amino acids
… proline, glycine, taurine, hypotuarine, beta-alanine, and gammaaminobutyric acid (GABA). SFXN2 and SFXN3 partially complemented loss of SFXN1 to enable glycine transport, while SFXN2 and SFXN5 partially complemented loss of SFXN1 to enable GABA transport. Altogether, this work suggests …

Homoglutathione Synthetase And The Plant Thiol-Redox Proteome
… which is a GSH analog that contains a terminal beta-alanine residue instead of a terminal glycine. This alternate reaction is catalyzed by hGSH synthetase, which is related to GSH synthetase; however, the specific features that alter substrate specificity are unknown. To understand the molecular …

The Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition In Breast Cancer Induces Alterations In Metabolism
… four elevated metabolites (glutamine, glutamate, beta-alanine, and glycyleucine) and found that the EMS is predictive of poor clinical outcome in breast cancer patients. In efforts to characterize the functional relevance of the metabolic alterations defined by the EMS, we examined genes …

Targeting Coenzyme A Biosynthesis for Antifungal Development.
… the PanF transporter, or produce it de novo from beta-alanine and pantoate, in a reaction catalyzed by pantothenate synthetase (PS). Similarly, the model yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, can acquire exogenous PA through the pantothenate symporter (Fen2p) or synthesize it de novo using PS, encoded …
