Metabolite Identification
Common Name2,4-Diaminobutyric acid
Description2,4-Diaminobutyric acid, also known as Dbu or 2,4-diaminobutanoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). 2,4-Diaminobutyric acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 2,4-Diaminobutyric acid has been detected, but not quantified in, milk (cow). This could make 2,4-diaminobutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 2,4-Diaminobutyric acid is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on 2,4-Diaminobutyric acid.
