Metabolite Identification
Common NameNitrate
DescriptionNitrate, also known as nitrate or nitrATE ion, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as non-metal nitrate. These are inorganic non-metallic compounds containing a nitrate as its largest oxoanion. Nitrate is a drug. Nitrate is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Nitrate exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans. In cattle, nitrate is involved in the metabolic pathway called the caffeine metabolism pathway. Nitrate is a potentially toxic compound.
