Product Description:

H-Gly-L-Phe-OH, also known as Glycyl-L-phenylalanine, is a dipeptide composed of glycine and L-phenylalanine. It is a fundamental building block in peptide chemistry, serving as a model compound for studying peptide bond formation, enzymatic hydrolysis, and transport mechanisms. This dipeptide is primarily utilized in biomedical research as a substrate for peptidases and proteases, particularly in assays investigating the activity of enzymes like dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV). It also serves as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex peptides and peptide-based drugs. Additionally, it is employed in studies of peptide absorption and metabolism, making it a valuable tool in pharmaceutical and nutritional research.
