Metabolite Identification
Common NameFormylanthranilic acid
DescriptionFormylanthranilic acid, also known as Formylanthranilic acid or Formylanthranilic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzoic acids. These are organic Compounds containing a benzene ring which bears at least one carboxyl group. Formylanthranilic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Formylanthranilic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Formylanthranilic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Formylanthranilic acid and L-alanine can be biosynthesized from n'-formylkynurenine through its interaction with the enzyme kynureninase. In addition, Formylanthranilic acid can be converted into 2-aminobenzoic acid and formic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme kynurenine formamidase. In cattle, formylanthranilic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tryptophan metabolism pathway.
