alanine has been researched along with Night Blindness in 1 studies

Alanine: A non-essential amino acid that occurs in high levels in its free state in plasma. It is produced from pyruvate by transamination. It is involved in sugar and acid metabolism, increases IMMUNITY, and provides energy for muscle tissue, BRAIN, and the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
alanine : An alpha-amino acid that consists of propionic acid bearing an amino substituent at position 2.

Night Blindness: Failure or imperfection of vision at night or in dim light, with good vision only on bright days. (Dorland, 27th ed)

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In an examination of the effect of three rhodopsin night blindness mutations on the rate of association of 11-cis-retinal with opsin, one of the mutations (G90D) was found to slow the rate of reaction by more than 80-fold."3.72Slow binding of retinal to rhodopsin mutants G90D and T94D.
