L-Alanyl-L-cysteine is a dipeptide composed of L-alanine and L-cysteine. L-alanine plays a role in protein synthesis and glucose metabolism, while L-cysteine is a sulfur-containing amino acid important for antioxidant defense and the formation of disulfide bonds in proteins. This dipeptide may be used in studies related to metabolic processes, redox biology, and protein structure, as it combines the metabolic functions of alanine with the reactive thiol group of cysteine, potentially influencing cellular redox states and protein stability.
