Metabolite Identification
Common NamePalmitoylglycine
DescriptionN-hexadecanoylglycine, also known as N-palmitoylglycine or elmiric acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-alpha amino acids. N-acyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. Thus, N-hexadecanoylglycine is considered to be a fatty amide. N-hexadecanoylglycine is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on N-hexadecanoylglycine.
