L-(+)-2-Aminobutyric acid is used in the biosynthesis of nonribosomal peptides. It acts as a receptor antagonist. It is also used as a chiral reagent. Further, it is used in the determination of substrate of glutamyl cysteine acid synthase. In addition to this, it is also utilized as a drug intermediate.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
