Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Allysine
Description(S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate, also known as allysine or L-2-aminoadipate 6-semialdehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as winged beans, wasabis, common verbena, arrowhead, and oats. This could make (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. An optically active form of (S)-2-amino-6-oxohexanoate having L-configuration.
