Metabolite Identification
Common Name3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde
Description3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, also known as 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde or 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylacetaldehydes. Phenylacetaldehydes are compounds containing a phenylacetaldehyde moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an acetalydehyde. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde can be biosynthesized from dopamine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme amine oxidase [flavin-containing] a. In addition, 3,4-Dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde can be converted into 3,4-dihydroxybenzeneacetic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde. In cattle, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tyrosine metabolism pathway.
