An essential amino acid important for protein structure and metabolism.
Threonine is an essential amino acid that comes from food. It is a building block for proteins and is important for making mucus, collagen and elastin, and it carries a side group that can be modified to regulate protein function.
Plasma threonine is part of a full amino acid profile and reflects protein intake and how your body handles this amino acid. Low levels can reflect poor intake. It is read in the context of the whole profile rather than alone.
Aniva reads your result against research-backed ranges, not just the lab's wide normal. The reference shown below is specific to this biomarker.
Adult fasting plasma, guidance only:
| Analyte | Typical adult range (µmol/L) |
|---|---|
| Threonine | 54 to 208 |
Ranges vary by laboratory and assay and are read as part of the full amino acid profile.
Results are affected by recent diet, recent protein intake, fasting state and the time of day the sample is taken.
