Common NameN-Formyl-L-glutamate
DescriptionN-Formyl-L-glutamic acid, also known as N-formylglutamate, ion(2-) or N-formyl-L-glutamate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glutamic acid and derivatives. Glutamic acid and derivatives are compounds containing glutamic acid or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of glutamic acid at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. N-Formyl-L-glutamic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, N-formyl-L-glutamic acid is involved in the folate malabsorption, hereditary pathway. N-Formyl-L-glutamic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make N-formyl-L-glutamic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. N-Formyl-L-glutamic 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 N-Formyl-L-glutamic acid.
