Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Acetamidobutanoic acid
Description4-Acetamidobutanoic acid, also known as 4-acetamidobutanoate or N-acetyl-4-aminobutyric acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as gamma amino acids and derivatives. These compounds are amino acids having an -NH2 group attached to the gamma carbon atom. 4-Acetamidobutanoic acid is soluble in water. 4-Acetamidobutanoic acid can be found in a number of food items such as Rubus species (blackberry, raspberry), cassava, pepper (Capsicum frutescens), and napa cabbage, which makes 4-acetamidobutanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 4-Acetamidobutanoic acid can be found in blood, feces, and urine, as well as in human prostate tissue. 4-Acetamidobutanoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. 4-Acetamidobutanoic acid is a GABA derivative, a product of the urea cycle and the metabolism of amino groups, and the product of NAD-linked aldehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.3) (KEGG).
