ᴅ-Valine, 1 X 25 g (V1255-25G)

L-Valine is an essential non-polar amino acid. D-Valine is the non-proteinogenic isomer of valine. ᴅ-Valine has been used as a supplement in: •Dulbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium (DMEM)/Nutrient Mixture F-12 Ham (F-12) for mice renal proximal tubule cell (RPTC) culture •endothelial cell growth medium MV2 for rat lung microvascular endothelial cell (RLMEC) culture •DMEM/F-12 for mouse tracheal epithelial cell (MTEC) culture D-valine is used in cell culture as a selective inhibitor of cell proliferation, wherein it inhibits cells that lack the enzyme D-amino acid oxidase. Historically D-valine has been used to inhibit fibroblast growth while allowing selective growth of epithelial cells.
