Description

n-Acetyl-Met-Ala CAS NO 17351-39-2 is a chemically modified dipeptide derivative, specifically the N-acetylated form of the methionine-alanine sequence. This modification enhances its stability and makes it a valuable building block in advanced peptide synthesis and biochemical research. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, peptide manufacturers, and academic institutions for developing novel therapeutic agents and studying protein structure-function relationships.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of more complex peptide-based drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Used as a standard or reagent in proteomics research, enzyme studies, and metabolic pathway analysis.
• Peptide Synthesis: An essential building block in solid-phase and solution-phase peptide synthesis for creating custom peptide sequences.
• Cosmetic Peptides: Potential incorporation into cosmetic formulations for skin-conditioning and anti-aging applications.
• Nutritional Science: Studied for its role as a modified amino acid source in specialized nutritional supplements.

Quality Control

Our n-Acetyl-Met-Ala is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider using a desiccant.
