Metabolite Identification
Common NameBicine
DescriptionBicine, also known as bicine buffer, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Bicine has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make bicine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Bicine.
