Anserine (Standard)

Anserine (Standard) is the analytical standard of Anserine. This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Anserine, a methylated form of Carnosine, is an orally active, natural Histidine-containing dipeptide found in skeletal muscle of vertebrates. Anserine is not cleaved by serum carnosinase and act as biochemical buffers, chelators, antioxidants, and anti-glycation agents. Anserine improves memory functions in Alzheimer's disease (AD) -model mice[1][2].
