Common NamePyroglutamic acid
DescriptionPyroglutamic acid, also known as pyroglutamate or pidolate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids and derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon), or a derivative thereof. Pyroglutamic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Pyroglutamic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, pyroglutamic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, pyroglutamic acid can be converted into L-glutamic acid; which is mediated by the enzyme 5-oxoprolinase. In addition, L-cysteine and pyroglutamic acid can be biosynthesized from γ-glutamylcysteine through the action of the enzyme Gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase. An optically active form of Pyroglutamic acid having L-configuration. In humans, pyroglutamic acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called the 5-oxoprolinase deficiency pathway. Pyroglutamic acid is a mild, sweet, and ethereal tasting compound. Outside of the human body, Pyroglutamic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within soy beans and beers. Pyroglutamic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as horseradish, nuts, cupuaçus, docks, and cascade huckleberries. This could make pyroglutamic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Pyroglutamic acid is a potentially toxic compound. Pyroglutamic acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as ulcerative colitis, supragingival calculus, schizophrenia, and eosinophilic esophagitis; pyroglutamic acid has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder glutathione synthetase deficiency.
