Metabolite Identification
Common NameAlpha-N-Phenylacetyl-L-glutamine
DescriptionPhenylacetylglutamine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-alpha amino acids. N-acyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. Phenylacetylglutamine is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Phenylacetylglutamine can be biosynthesized from L-glutamine through the action of the enzyme glycine N-acyltransferase. In cattle, phenylacetylglutamine is involved in the metabolic pathway called the phenylacetate metabolism pathway.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in glycine N-acyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Mitochondrial acyltransferase which transfers an acyl group to the N-terminus of glycine and glutamine, although much less efficiently. Can conjugate a multitude of substrates to form a variety of N-acylglycines, thereby detoxify xenobiotics, such as benzoic acid or salicylic acid, and endogenous organic acids, such as isovaleric acid.
