Metabolite Identification
Common Name(R)-beta-Aminoisobutyric acid
Description(R)-beta-Aminoisobutyric acid, also known as (R)-b-aminoisobutyrate or D-3-amino-isobutanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as beta amino acids and derivatives. These are amino acids having a (-NH2) group attached to the beta carbon atom (R)-beta-Aminoisobutyric acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans (R)-beta-Aminoisobutyric acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as mountain yams (Dioscorea pentaphylla), chia (Salvia hispanica), passion fruits (Passiflora edulis), mammee apples (Mammea americana), and peanuts (Arachis hypogaea). This could make (R)-beta-aminoisobutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods (R)-beta-Aminoisobutyric acid is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on (R)-beta-Aminoisobutyric acid.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in transaminase activity
Specific function:
Can metabolize asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) via transamination to alpha-keto-delta-(NN-dimethylguanidino) valeric acid (DMGV). ADMA is a potent inhibitor of nitric-oxide (NO) synthase, and this activity provides mechanism through which the kidney regulates blood pressure.
