Metabolite Identification
Common NameCalcium
DescriptionCalcium, also known as ca(2+) or calcium ion, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as homogeneous alkaline earth metal compounds. These are inorganic compounds containing only metal atoms,with the largest atom being a alkaline earth metal atom. Calcium exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and possibly neutral molecule. Calcium exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Calcium is a potentially toxic compound. Calcium has been found to be associated with several diseases known as sucrase-isomaltase deficiency, bartter syndrome, type 3, mitochondrial trifunctional protein deficiency, and bartter syndrome, type 5, antenatal, transient; also calcium has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including primary hypomagnesemia.
