L-Alanine-2-naphthylamide
L-Alanine-2-naphthylamide (Alanine β-naphthylamide) is an Aminopeptidase (E.C. 3.4.11.) substrate and detection reagent. L-Alanine-2-naphthylamide detects the functional activity of aminopeptidase in the intestine of larval whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus). L-Alanine-2-naphthylamide serves as an initiator in the N-carboxyanhydride (NCA) method for synthesizing poly (β-benzyl-L-aspartate) polymers with a terminal 2-naphthyl energy donor group.

Biological Activity
L-Alanine-2-naphthylamide acts as a substrate for detecting aminopeptidase activity in intestinal enterocytes of larval Coregonus lavaretus, revealing activity that increases ontogenetically from day 13 to 34, is more intense in zooplankton-fed larvae than dry diet-fed larvae, and is reduced by starvation[2].
