Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Butyrylglycine
DescriptionN-Butyrylglycine, also known as 2-butanamidoacetate or N-butanoylglycine, 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. N-Butyrylglycine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N-Butyrylglycine is a potentially toxic compound. N-Butyrylglycine, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with the diseases such as colorectal cancer; N-butyrylglycine has also been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including ethylmalonic encephalopathy, short chain acyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency, and propionic acidemia.
