Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-methyl-L-glutamic Acid
DescriptionN-Methyl-L-glutamic acid, also known as N-methylglutamate, 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-Methyl-L-glutamic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa).
