Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Acetylserine
DescriptionN-Acetylserine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-l-alpha-amino acids. These are n-acylated alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. N-Acetylserine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N-Acetylserine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. N-Acetylserine, with regard to humans, has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder aminoacylase I deficiency.
