Metabolite Identification
Common NameAllantoic acid
DescriptionAllantoic acid, also known as diureidoacetate or allantoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids. N-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an carbamoyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. Allantoic acid 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 Allantoic acid.
