Leucyl-Leucine
Leucyl-Leucine is a dipeptied compoosed of two leucine residues. It is an incomplete breakdown product of protein digestion or protein catabolism. Some dipeptides are known to have physiological or cell-signaling effects although most are simply short-lived intermediates on their way to specific amino acid degradation pathways following further proteolysis. This dipeptide has not yet been identified in human tissues or biofluids and so it is classified as an Expected metabolite.

This compound belongs to the class of chemical entities known as peptides. These are compounds containing an amide derived from two or more amino carboxylic acid moleclies (the same or different) by formation of a covalent bond from the carbonyl carbon of one to the nitrogen atom of another.
