Metabolite Identification
Common NamePyrrolidonecarboxylic acid
DescriptionPyrrolidonecarboxylic acid, also known as pyroglutamate or pyroglutamic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as proline and derivatives. Proline and derivatives are compounds containing proline or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of proline at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa).
