Biological Activity

Glycyl-L-valine is a small dipeptide composed of glycine and L-valine that acts as an endogenous metabolic intermediate and substrate for proton-coupled oligopeptide transporters, including PEPT1 (SLC15A1) and PEPT2 (SLC15A2). Transported across epithelial membranes via these peptide transport pathways, it is intracellularly hydrolyzed by cytosolic peptidases into constituent amino acids, thereby supporting cellular nitrogen balance, amino acid homeostasis, and downstream protein biosynthesis.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
