Abstract: Amino acids are important nutrients that function as both tissue building blocks and metabolic regulators. How amino acid balance is vital for the development and metabolism. Amino acid sensors, serials of particular functional molecules, possess the function of sensing amino acids has been reported in recent years. Here, both intracellular and extracellular amino acid sensors were expounded including their composition, amino acid sensing mechanism and their applications.
