Metabolite Identification
Common NameAminoadipic acid
DescriptionAminoadipic acid, also known as aminoadipic acid or Aminoadipic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Aminoadipic acid exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Aminoadipic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. Aminoadipic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Aminoadipic acid can be biosynthesized from allysine through the action of the enzyme Alpha-aminoadipic semialdehyde dehydrogenase. In addition, Aminoadipic acid and oxoglutaric acid can be converted into oxoadipic acid and L-glutamic acid through its interaction with the enzyme kynurenine/alphaminoadipic acid aminotransferase, mitochondrial. In cattle, aminoadipic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the lysine degradation pathway. Aminoadipic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
