Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-2-Amino-3-oxobutanoic acid
DescriptionL-2-Amino-3-oxobutanoic acid, also known as L-2-amino-acetoacetate or 2-amino-3-ketobutyrIC ACID, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. L-2-Amino-3-oxobutanoic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. In humans, L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoic acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called the dimethylglycine dehydrogenase deficiency pathway. L-2-Amino-3-oxobutanoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make L-2-amino-3-oxobutanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. L-2-Amino-3-oxobutanoic acid is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on L-2-Amino-3-oxobutanoic acid.
