L-Isoleucine is an essential amino acid. It is one of the three branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and is present in all proteins. This amino acid is for the production of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen in the blood. It also plays a vital role in muscle growth and repair and is necessary for energy production. In the realm of scientific research, L-Isoleucine finds applications in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. It participates in various biochemical processes, including protein and hormone synthesis, blood sugar regulation, and energy production. Furthermore, it plays a role in the creation of hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule in the bloodstream.
