Metabolite Identification
Common NameIsovalerylglycine
DescriptionIsovalerylglycine, also known as isopentanoylglycine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-alpha amino acids. N-acyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. Isovalerylglycine is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Isovalerylglycine is a potentially toxic compound. Isovalerylglycine, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as short/branched chain acyl-coa dehydrogenase deficiency and anorexia nervosa; isovalerylglycine has also been linked to several inborn metabolic disorders including propionic acidemia, glutaric aciduria II, and ethylmalonic encephalopathy.
