Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Acetyl-L-methionine
DescriptionN-Acetyl-L-methionine, also known as L-(N-acetyl)methionine or methionamine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methionine and derivatives. Methionine and derivatives are compounds containing methionine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of methionine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. N-Acetyl-L-methionine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). N-Acetyl-L-methionine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
