Urine Protein is a measure of the amount of protein in the urine. High levels of urine protein (proteinuria) may indicate kidney disease or damage.

iollo markers that associate with Protein

​

Alanine

Alanine is a non-essential amino acid that can be produced from the breakdown of proteins or carbohydrates. It is involved in the glucose-alanine cycle between muscle and liver.

​

Glutamine

Glutamine is the most abundant free amino acid in the body and is involved in protein synthesis, immune function, and intestinal health. Glutamine levels may reflect overall protein status.

​

Isoleucine

Isoleucine is the third branched-chain amino acid that plays a central role in protein synthesis and energy metabolism.

​

Leucine

Leucine is one of the branched-chain amino acids that are key components of proteins. Leucine levels correlate with protein consumption and muscle protein synthesis.

​

Lysine

Lysine is an essential amino acid that is critical for protein synthesis, especially for collagen, and may be a limiting factor in some cereal-based diets.

​

Methionine

Methionine is an essential amino acid that plays important roles in protein synthesis, methylation reactions, and the production of cysteine and glutathione.

​

Phenylalanine

Phenylalanine is one of the essential amino acids that make up proteins. Higher phenylalanine levels may reflect increased protein intake or turnover.

​

Proline

Proline is a non-essential amino acid that is important for the structure of collagen and other proteins. Proline levels may be influenced by protein intake.

​

Tyrosine

Tyrosine is a non-essential amino acid that can be produced from phenylalanine. It is a precursor for neurotransmitters and hormones and is found in many proteins.

​

Valine

Valine, like leucine, is a branched-chain amino acid that is an important building block for proteins, especially in muscle.
