Metabolite Identification
Common NameUreidoisobutyric acid
DescriptionUreidoisobutyric acid, also known as 3-ureidoisobutyrate or beta-uba, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as ureas. Ureas are compounds containing two amine groups joined by a carbonyl (C=O) functional group. Ureidoisobutyric acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Based on a literature review a small amount of articles have been published on Ureidoisobutyric acid.

Enzymes

General function:
Not Available
Specific function:
Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the amide bond in N-(4-oxoglutarate)-L-cysteinylglycine (deaminated glutathione), a metabolite repair reaction to dispose of the harmful deaminated glutathione. Plays a role in cell growth and apoptosis. Has tumor suppressor properties that enhances the apoptotic responsiveness in cancer cells. It is also a negative regulator of primary T-cells.
