Metabolite Identification
Common Namecis-Urocanate
Description(E)-Urocanic acid, also known as (e)-urocanate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as imidazolyl carboxylic acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing a carboxylic acid chain (of at least 2 carbon atoms) linked to an imidazole ring (E)-Urocanic acid is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, (E)-Urocanic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, mushrooms. This could make (e)-urocanic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. A urocanic acid in which the double bond of the carboxyethene moiety has Z configuration.
