β-Aminoisobutyric acid

Description:

β-Aminoisobutyric acid, also known as 2-amino-2-methylpropanoic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its amino and carboxylic acid functional groups. It is a colorless, crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits a slightly acidic nature due to the presence of the carboxyl group. The compound has a molecular formula of C4H9NO2 and a molecular weight that reflects its simple structure. β-Aminoisobutyric acid is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins during translation but can play roles in various biological processes. It is known to act as a neurotransmitter and has been studied for its potential effects on muscle metabolism and as a possible therapeutic agent in certain medical conditions. The compound is also of interest in biochemical research and may be utilized in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as with many chemical substances, to avoid potential health hazards.

DL-3-Aminoisobutyric acid

CAS: 144-90-1

DL-3-Aminoisobutyric acid (LAA) is a metabolite of the amino acid L-arginine. It is produced in the liver by the enzyme arginase and can be used to diagnose hepatic steatosis. It is also found in urine and human serum, as well as in microbial metabolism. LAA has been shown to regulate gene transcription and metabolism through its ability to inhibit the activity of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), an inhibitory neurotransmitter that regulates energy metabolism and metabolic disorders. In addition, LAA has been shown to have antioxidant properties, which may be related to its role in caproic acid biosynthesis.
