Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Ethyl-2-methoxyphenol
Description4-Ethyl-2-methoxyphenol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. 4-Ethyl-2-methoxyphenol is a bacon, clove, and phenolic tasting compound. 4-Ethyl-2-methoxyphenol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as red wine, robusta coffees (Coffea canephora), and coffees (Coffea) and in a lower concentration in arabica coffees (Coffea arabica). 4-Ethyl-2-methoxyphenol has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as beer, chinese cinnamons (Cinnamomum aromaticum), red bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), yellow bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), and green tea. This could make 4-ethyl-2-methoxyphenol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 4-Ethyl-2-methoxyphenol.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups
Specific function:
UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isoform glucuronidates bilirubin IX-alpha to form both the IX-alpha-C8 and IX-alpha-C12 monoconjugates and diconjugate. Is also able to catalyze the glucuronidation of 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, 1-hydroxypyrene, 4-methylumbelliferone, 1-naphthol, paranitrophenol, scopoletin, and umbelliferone.
