Metabolite Identification
Common Name5-Amino-2-oxopentanoic acid
Description5-Amino-2-oxopentanoic acid, also known as 5-amino-2-oxopentanoic acid or 5-amino-2-oxopentanoic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as short-chain keto acids and derivatives. These are keto acids with an alkyl chain the contains less than 6 carbon atoms. 5-Amino-2-oxopentanoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. 5-Amino-2-oxopentanoic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 5-Amino-2-oxopentanoic acid can be biosynthesized from D-ornithine; which is mediated by the enzyme D-amino-acid oxidase. In cattle, 5-amino-2-oxopentanoic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the D-arginine and D-ornithine metabolism pathway.
