N-[3-(N-L-Alanyl)-amino-3-carboxypropyl]-D-histidine is an analog of Nicotianamine (N408500), a phytosiderophore that is produced in higher plants as iron chelating amino acids that promote uptake of iron from soil. Nicotianamine (N408500) biosynthesis in plants depicts the association of three enzymatic activities: a histidine racemase, an enzyme distantly related to nicotianamine synthase, and a staphylopine dehydrogenase belonging to the DUF2338 family. Molecular Formula: C13H23Cl3N4O6 Solubility: Water (Slightly) Molecular Weight: 437.7
