Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Trimethylammoniobutanal
Description4-Trimethylammoniobutanal, also known as 4-trimethylammoniobutanal, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-hydrogen aldehydes. These are aldehydes with the general formula HC(H)(R)C(=O)H, where R is an organyl group. 4-Trimethylammoniobutanal is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 4-Trimethylammoniobutanal exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 4-Trimethylammoniobutanal participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Glycine and 4-trimethylammoniobutanal can be biosynthesized from 3-hydroxy-N6,N6,N6-trimethyl-L-lysine through its interaction with the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase, cytosolic. In addition, 4-Trimethylammoniobutanal can be converted into 4-trimethylammoniobutanoic acid through its interaction with the enzyme 4-4-trimethylammoniobutanal dehydrogenase. In cattle, 4-trimethylammoniobutanal is involved in the metabolic pathway called carnitine synthesis pathway.
