2-HYDROXY-4-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID

Description:

2-Hydroxy-4-aminobutyric acid, also known as GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) analog, is an amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group and an amino group on a four-carbon backbone. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water, reflecting its polar nature due to the functional groups present. It plays a role in various biochemical pathways and is of interest in pharmacology for its potential neuroprotective and anxiolytic properties. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. As a non-proteinogenic amino acid, it is not incorporated into proteins but can influence neurotransmission and metabolic processes. Its CAS number, 40371-51-5, is a unique identifier that facilitates its identification in chemical databases. Overall, 2-hydroxy-4-aminobutyric acid is significant in research related to neurochemistry and may have therapeutic implications in treating conditions such as anxiety and epilepsy.
