As a glycogenic amino acid, alanine can be converted in the liver by the catalytic action of glutamate-pyruvate aminotransferase (GPT)(also known as alanine aminotransferase). Alanine plays an important role in the conversion of glucose in the liver, so it can be absorbed by muscles and used for energy, including during fasting/calorie restriction when muscle protein can be broken down. This means that consuming sufficient levels of this amino acid may help prevent muscle atrophy
