Common NameN-carbamoyl-beta-alaninate
DescriptionUreidopropionic acid, also known as 3-ureidopropanoate or N-carbamoyl-b-alanine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ureas. Ureas are compounds containing two amine groups joined by a carbonyl (C=O) functional group. Ureidopropionic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, ureidopropionic acid is involved in the beta-alanine metabolism pathway. Ureidopropionic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as partridge berries (Mitchella repens), pulses, globe artichokes (Cynara scolymus), lindens (Tilia), and juniperus communis (Juniperus communis). This could make ureidopropionic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Ureidopropionic 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 a significant number of articles have been published on Ureidopropionic acid.
