Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Methylbutyrylglycine
Description2-Methylbutyrylglycine, also known as 2-MBG or N-sec-valerylglycine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-alpha amino acids. N-acyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. 2-Methylbutyrylglycine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 2-Methylbutyrylglycine is a potentially toxic compound. 2-Methylbutyrylglycine, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and short/branched chain acyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency; 2-methylbutyrylglycine has also been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including isovaleric acidemia, propionic acidemia, and glutaric aciduria II.
