  <name>L-Alpha-aminobutyric acid</name>
  <description>2-Aminobutyrate, also known as L-butyrine or L-homoalanine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. 2-Aminobutyrate exists as a solid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. 2-Aminobutyrate exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.</description>
