Metabolite Identification
Common NameMagnesium
DescriptionMagnesium, also known as magnesium ion or MG2+, 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. Magnesium exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and possibly neutral molecule. Magnesium exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Magnesium has been found to be associated with several diseases known as multiple sclerosis, alzheimer's disease, bartter syndrome, type 4a, neonatal, with sensorineural deafness, and bartter syndrome, type 3; also magnesium has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including primary hypomagnesemia.
