Metabolite Identification
Common NameGuanine
DescriptionGuanine, also known as G or mearlmaid aa, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as purines and purine derivatives. These are aromatic heterocyclic compounds containing a purine moiety, which is formed a pyrimidine-ring ring fused to an imidazole ring. Guanine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Guanine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Guanine has been found to be associated with several diseases known as colorectal cancer, alzheimer's disease, lewy body disease, and frontotemporal dementia; also guanine has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including lesch-nyhan syndrome.
