Product Data Sheet
D-Phenylalanine
Catalog No. A16481
D-Phenylalanine is an atypical D-amino acid that functions as a bacterial biofilm formation inhibitor. It integrates into the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls, particularly replacing D-alanine, which alters cell wall structure and enhances acid resistance, thereby impacting biofilm development. Additionally, D-Phenylalanine may stimulate the secretion of peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY) in mammals through activation of the GPR109B receptor, suggesting a role in appetite regulation and blood glucose management. This reagent is valuable for research in antibacterial preservation, probiotic enhancement in the food industry, and metabolic disease studies, including diabetes.
