Beschreibung

2-Acetamido-5-aminopentanoic acid (2AAP) is a potential biomarker for obesity. 2AAP is synthesized from the amino acid glutamate by a synthetase that is active in adipose tissue and has a high level of aminotransferase activity. This molecule can be an inhibitor of the enzyme aconitase, which plays an important role in the citric acid cycle. This inhibition could lead to changes in body mass index (BMI). The wild-type strain of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium have been shown to produce 2AAP with x-ray diffraction data. Preparative hplc was used to isolate this compound from urine samples.
