I-DL-Valine iyi-amino acid ebalulekile ehlanganisiwe ebalulekile ekwakhiweni kwamaprotheni kanye nemisebenzi eyahlukahlukene yokuguqula umzimba. Isetshenziswa ezinhlotsheni ezahlukene zokusebenza, okuhlanganisa ukudla kwezemidlalo, imithi, kanye nokudla kwezilwane. I-DL-Valine itholakala kokubili ngezindlela ze-D kanye ne-L, inikeza ukuguquguquka kokusetshenziswa okuhlukahlukene. Lo mkhiqizo wekhwalithi ephezulu wenziwa ngezindinganiso zekhwalithi eziqinile, okuqinisekisa ukufaneleka kwawo ezinhlotsheni ezahlukene zokusebenza.
