Maintains the intestinal mucin barrier
Mucins secreted by goblet cells are rich in threonine; sugar chains attach at the hydroxyl groups to form the intestinal mucosal barrier. When threonine is limited, thinning of the mucus layer often shows first. The gut lining renews in large amounts every day. Meat, dairy, and eggs are the main sources; the body cannot make it.
Supports the one-carbon and glycine pools
Threonine can be converted via a dehydrogenase path into glycine and acetyl-CoA, joining one-carbon metabolism. Demand for threonine is high in growth; it is often one of the limiting amino acids in nitrogen balance. Meat, dairy, and eggs are the main food sources.
