Anserine (β-alanyl-3-methylhistidine) is a dipeptide containing β-alanine and 3-methylhistidine. Anserine is a derivative of carnosine, which has been methylated.
Anserine has biological activities similar to those of carnosine, including buffering activity, antioxidant properties, metal ion chelation, and anti-aggregation effects. Both anserine and carnosine chelate copper. Because of its methylation, anserine is more stable in serum and resistant to degradation than carnosine. Compared with carnosine, anserine have a higher antioxidant capacity.
