Metabolite Identification
Common Name5-Amino-2-oxopentanoic acid
Description5-Amino-2-oxopentanoic acid, also known as 2-oxo-5-amino-pentanoate or alpha-keto-delta-aminopentanoate, 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 through the action of the enzyme D-amino-acid oxidase. The 2-oxo-5-amino derivative of valeric acid. In humans, 5-amino-2-oxopentanoic acid is involved in d-arginine and d-ornithine metabolism.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring acyl groups other than amino-acyl groups
Specific function:
Abolishes BNIP3-mediated apoptosis and mitochondrial damage.
Gene Name:
ACAA2
Uniprot ID:
P42765
Molecular weight:
41923.82
General function:
Involved in D-amino-acid oxidase activity
Specific function:
Regulates the level of the neuromodulator D-serine in the brain. Has high activity towards D-DOPA and contributes to dopamine synthesis. Could act as a detoxifying agent which removes D-amino acids accumulated during aging. Acts on a variety of D-amino acids with a preference for those having small hydrophobic side chains followed by those bearing polar, aromatic, and basic groups. Does not act on acidic amino acids.
