Biological process

beta-alanine anabolism, beta-alanine biosynthesis, beta-alanine formation, beta-alanine synthesis

The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of beta-alanine (3-aminopropanoic acid), an achiral amino acid and an isomer of alanine. It occurs free (e.g. in brain) and in combination (e.g. in pantothenate) but it is not a constituent of proteins.
