Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Acetylglutamic acid
DescriptionN-Acetyl-L-glutamic acid, also known as acetylglutamate or ac-glu-OH, 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-Acetyl-L-glutamic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N-Acetyl-L-glutamic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
