Metabolite Identification
Common NameNorleucine
DescriptionL-Norleucine, also known as L-aminohexanoate or caprine, 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. Thus, L-norleucine is considered to be a fatty acid. L-Norleucine exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. L-Norleucine has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica), and milk (cow). This could make L-norleucine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on L-Norleucine.
