Metabolite Identification
Common NameUreidosuccinic acid
DescriptionUreidosuccinic acid, also known as L-ureidosuccinate or carbamyl-L-aspartate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aspartic acids and derivatives. Aspartic acids and derivatives are compounds containing an aspartic acid or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of aspartic acid at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Ureidosuccinic acid is also classified as a carbamate derivative. It is a solid that is soluble in water. Ureidosuccinic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Ureidosuccinic acid can be biosynthesized from carbamoyl phosphate and L-aspartic acid through the action of the enzyme known as aspartate carbamoyltransferase (ACTase) and serves as an intermediate in pyrimidine biosynthesis. In humans, a drop in the level of urinary ureidosuccinic acid is associated with bladder cancer (PMID: 25562196 ). It is also involved in the metabolic disorder called Canavan disease.
