5-Aminolevulinic Acid HCl （5-ALA）
5-Aminolevulinic acid (also known as dALA, 5-ALA, or 5ala) stands as the inaugural compound in the porphyrin synthesis pathway—a crucial route leading to heme in mammals and chlorophyll in plants.
Within the realm of plants, the production of 5-ALA assumes a pivotal role in regulating the speed of chlorophyll synthesis. Notably, plants receiving external 5-ALA exhibit an accumulation of toxic levels of the chlorophyll precursor, protochlorophyllide. This observation implies that the synthesis of this intermediate is not hindered at any point downstream in the chain of reactions. Protochlorophyllide, in turn, emerges as a potent photosensitizer in plants.
Application:
1. Regulate the synthesis of chlorophyll
2. Improve photosynthetic efficiency
3. Affect breathing
4. Promote plant tissue differentiation
5. Promote fertilizer effect
6. Improved immunity from bad environment 7. Photosensitive effect
Agriculture use:
In plants, production of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Hydrochloride is the step on which the speed of synthesis of chlorophyll is regulated. Plants that are fed by external 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Hydrochloride accumulate toxic amounts of chlorophyll precursor,protochlorophyllide, indicating that the synthesis of this intermediate is not suppressed anywhere downwards in the chain of reaction. Protochlorophyllide is a strong photosensitizer in plants.
