Introduction of 5-aminolevulinic acid

5-Aminolevulinic acid，referred to as 5-ALA. It is a functional non-protein amino acid naturally existing in living organisms, and also a pure natural, non-toxic and environmentally friendly delta-amino acid. It is an essential precursor for the biosynthesis of tetrapyrrole compounds such as heme, chlorophyll, and vitamin B12. Plant photosynthesis and cellular energy metabolism have important effects. 5-ALA has a high degree of homology in humans, animals, plants, including microorganisms, and has the advantages of biodegradability, non-toxicity and no residue, and is widely used in medicine, pesticides, chemicals and other fields. In the field of agriculture, 5-ALA can promote the growth of crops, fruit trees, vegetables, etc., and can also promote the absorption efficiency of plants to soil nutrients, reduce the application of chemical fertilizers, increase yield and improve quality; in the field of feed, it can improve anemia, improve poultry The immunity of livestock and other animals; in medicine, 5-ALA can be used as a new generation of fluorescent tracers and photodynamic drugs for cancer diagnosis and treatment, and as an additive ingredient in cosmetics and health food.
