N-Lactoylphenylalanine
N-Lactoylphenylalanine is a lactoyl derivative of phenylalanine. N-Lactoyl-amino acids are ubiquitous pseudodipeptides of lactic acid and amino acids that are rapidly formed by reverse proteolysis. A protease, cytosolic nonspecific dipeptidase 2 (CNDP2), catalyzes their formation. The plasma levels of these metabolites strongly correlate with plasma levels of lactate and amino acid (PMID: 25964343). N-Lactoyl-Phenylalanine is a blood-borne signalling metabolite and can be used for obesity research. N-Lactoyl-Phenylalanine is exercise-inducible[1].
