Metabolite Identification
Common Namegamma-Hydroxybutyrate
DescriptionGamma-hydroxybutyrate (GHB) is also known as 4-hydroxybutanoic acid. It is a carboxylic acid with an attached alcohol (hydroxyl) group. GHB can be produced as a result of fermentation, and so is found in small quantities in some beers and wines. (Wikipedia , PMID 15939164 ) In E. coli, 4-hydroxybutanoate can be produced from the reduction of succinate semialdehyde by the enzyme 4-hydroxybutanoate dehydrogenase. (EcoCyc, PMID: 19372223 )
