Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol
Description3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol, also known as DHPG or 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as catechols. Catechols are compounds containing a 1,2-benzenediol moiety. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol can be biosynthesized from 3,4-dihydroxymandelaldehyde through its interaction with the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase 1A. In addition, 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylglycol and guaiacol can be converted into vanylglycol and pyrocatechol; which is mediated by the enzyme catechol O-methyltransferase. In cattle, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylglycol is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tyrosine metabolism pathway.

Enzymes

Enzyme Details
1. Catechol O-methyltransferase
General function:
Involved in catechol O-methyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the O-methylation, and thereby the inactivation, of catecholamine neurotransmitters and catechol hormones. Also shortens the biological half-lives of certain neuroactive drugs, like L-DOPA, alpha-methyl DOPA and isoproterenol (By similarity).

Enzyme Details
2. Alcohol dehydrogenase class-3
General function:
Energy production and conversion
Specific function:
Catalyzes the oxidation of long-chain primary alcohols and the oxidation of S-(hydroxymethyl) glutathione. Also oxidizes long chain omega-hydroxy fatty acids, such as 20-HETE, producing both the intermediate aldehyde, 20-oxoarachidonate and the end product, a dicarboxylic acid, (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-eicosatetraenedioate. Class-III ADH is remarkably ineffective in oxidizing ethanol.
