Metabolite Identification
Common NamePterin
DescriptionPterin, also known as 4-oxopterin or pteridoxamine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pterins and derivatives. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a pterin moiety, which consist of a pteridine ring bearing a ketone and an amine group to form 2-aminopteridin-4(3H)-one. Pterin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, pterin is involved in the caffeine metabolism pathway. Pterin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within soy beans (Glycine max). Pterin has also 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 pterin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Pterin 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 Pterin.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in cobalamin binding
Specific function:
Catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from methyl-cobalamin to homocysteine, yielding enzyme-bound cob(I)alamin and methionine. Subsequently, remethylates the cofactor using methyltetrahydrofolate (By similarity).
Gene Name:
MTR
Uniprot ID:
Q99707
Molecular weight:
