valinevaline(văl`ēn), organic compound, one of the 22 α-amino acidsamino acid, any one of a class of simple organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and in certain cases sulfur. These compounds are the building blocks of proteins. ..... Click the link for more information. commonly found in animal proteins. Only the l-stereoisomer appears in mammalian protein. It is one of several essential amino acids needed in the diet, as the human body cannot synthesize it from simpler metabolites. Young adults need about 23 mg of this amino acid per day per kilogram (10 mg per lb) of body weight. Valine can be degraded into simpler compounds by the enzymes of the body; an inherited defect in one of the enzymes involved in this process results in a rare disorder called maple syrup urine disease. Valine contributes to the structure of proteins into which it has been incorporated by the tendency of its side chain to participate in hydrophobic interactions. The structure of valine was established in 1906, after it had been first isolated from albumin in 1879. See isoleucineisoleucine , organic compound, one of the 20 amino acids commonly found in animal proteins. Only the l-stereoisomer appears in mammalian protein. .....

The amount of valine in protein usually varies from 4.1 percent (horse myoglobin) to 7-8 percent (human serum albumen, milk casein) and sometimes 13-14 percent (connective-tissue elastin). The absence of valine from food makes it protein-deficient and results in a negative nitrogen balance. valine[′va‚lēn]valinevaline[va´lēn]val·ine (Val, V),(val'in),valine(văl′ēn′, vā′lēn′)val·ine(V) (vā-lēn')valineOne of the ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS, a constituent of protein. valine (V, Val)one of 20 AMINO ACIDS common in proteins. It has a nonpolar ‘R’ group structure and is relatively insoluble in water. See Fig. 313 . The ISOELECTRIC POINT of valine is 6.0.val·ine(Val, V) (vā-lēn')valine
