LITERATURE
physiological function
histidine-containing dipeptides like carnosine and anserine have protective functions in both health and disease. Carnosine is synthesized by the enzyme carnosine synthase (CARNS), which is present in skeletal and heart muscle, as well as in certain regions in the brain and kidney
