Formiminoglutamic acid

Description

Formiminoglutamic acid, also known as N-formimino-L-glutamate or formimino-glu, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as glutamic acid and derivatives. Glutamic acid and derivatives are compounds containing glutamic acid or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of glutamic acid at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Formiminoglutamic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, formiminoglutamic acid is involved in the histidine metabolism pathway. Formiminoglutamic acid 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 formiminoglutamic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Formiminoglutamic 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 a significant number of articles have been published on Formiminoglutamic acid.
