Common Name(-)-Ureidoglycolate
Description(S)-Ureidoglycolic acid, also known as (S)-ureidoglycolate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids. N-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an carbamoyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom (S)-Ureidoglycolic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans (S)-Ureidoglycolic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as daikon radishes (Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus), juniperus communis (Juniperus communis), common cabbages (Brassica oleracea), canada blueberries (Vaccinium myrtilloides), and wax apples (Eugenia javanica). This could make (S)-ureidoglycolic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods (S)-Ureidoglycolic 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 very few articles have been published on (S)-Ureidoglycolic acid.
