FA-Ala-Arg

Description

FA-Ala-Arg is a dipeptide with furylacryloyl group. FA-Ala-Arg breaks down to produce arginine. While cell-surface Carboxypeptidase-D CPD also increases intracellular Arg, which is converted to nitric oxide NO . FA-Ala-Arg enhances NO production in MCF-7 cells. FA-Ala-Arg also increases the cell survival of prolactin PRL -treated cells, PRL regulates CPD mRNA levels in cells.
