Leucine
|Section2= |Section3= }} Leucine (abbreviated as Leu or L) is an essential, branched-chain α-amino acid, classified hydrophobic due to the isobutyl side chain. Its structural formula is HO2CCH(NH2)CH2CH(CH3)2. L-Leucine is encoded by six codons (UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA, and CUG) and is a major component of the subunits in ferritin, astacin, and other 'buffer' proteins. ==Biology== Leucine is utilized in the liver, adipose tissue, and muscle tissue. In adipose and muscle tissue, leucine is used in the formation of sterols, and the combined usage of leucine in these two tissues is seven times greater than its use in the liver.
