Metabolite Identification
Common NameAnserine
DescriptionAnserine, also known as balanine or ophidine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hybrid peptides. Hybrid peptides are compounds containing at least two different types of amino acids (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) linked to each other through a peptide bond. Anserine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Anserine.
