Metabolite Identification
Common NameBenzylamine
DescriptionBenzylamine, also known as a-aminotoluene or moringine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylmethylamines. Phenylmethylamines are compounds containing a phenylmethtylamine moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted by an methanamine. Benzylamine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as corns, white cabbages, and cabbages and in a lower concentration in wild carrots, carrots, and apples. Benzylamine has also been detected, but not quantified, in several different foods, such as common chokecherries, black cabbages, macadamia nut (m. tetraphylla), ginsengs, and lettuces. This could make benzylamine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods.

General function:
Involved in serine-type endopeptidase activity
Specific function:
Has activity against the synthetic substrates Boc-Phe- Ser-Arg-Mec, Boc-Leu-Thr-Arg-Mec, Boc-Gln-Ala-Arg-Mec and Boc-Val- Pro-Arg-Mec. The single-chain form is more active than the two- chain form against all of these substrates
