Muscle carnosine metabolism and β-alanine supplementation in relation to exercise and training [PDF]
, 2010 Carnosine is a dipeptide with a high concentration in mammalian skeletal muscle. It is synthesized by carnosine synthase from the amino acids L-histidine and beta-alanine, of which the latter is the rate-limiting precursor, and degraded by carnosinase ...
