eiproteiinisistä

Eiproteiiniset, also known as non-proteinogenic amino acids, are amino acids that are not encoded by the genetic code and are not incorporated into proteins during translation. These amino acids are not part of the standard 20 amino acids that make up proteins in most organisms. Instead, they are often used as signaling molecules, neurotransmitters, or precursors for other biologically active compounds. Some examples of eiproteiiniset include gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system, and taurine, which is involved in various physiological processes including heart function and bile acid synthesis. The synthesis of eiproteiiniset can occur through various metabolic pathways, and they often play crucial roles in cellular communication and regulation.
