Because of their poor hepatic catabolism, circulating BCAAs, in particular, leucine, act as signaling molecules and nutritional sensors. They promote protein synthesis, cellular metabolism, and cell ...

Genetic causes of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) are incompletely understood. LRRC10 (leucine‐rich repeat–containing 10) is a cardiac‐specific protein of unknown function. Heterozygous mutations in ...

Here we focus on the metabolic subnetwork of the valine and leucine biosynthesis in C. glutamicum. Due to the lack of indisputable information regarding reversibility of the reactions in the pathway ...

It’s still a complete protein, though lower in the muscle-sparking amino acid leucine. What it lacks there, it makes up for with bioactive peptides that support immune function, cardiovascular ...
