• Beschreibung: L-Formiminoglutamic acid is an amino acid that is classified as a non-proteinogenic amino acid. L-Formiminoglutamic acid is not incorporated into proteins, but instead acts as a metabolic intermediate in the synthesis of other amino acids such as histidine, methionine and tryptophan. L-Formiminoglutamic acid also has a role in histidine biosynthesis, which may be due to its enzyme activities. This amino acid is found in plants and animals, where it is synthesized by enzymes that are sensitive to nitrous oxide. It can also be synthesized by the human body through glutamate and ammonia. Deficiency of this amino acid can lead to metabolic disorders such as polymerase chain reaction defects or folate deficiency.
