Información del producto

• Nombre: Propionyl glycine
• Sinónimos: N-(1-Oxopropyl)glycineN-PropionylglycineNSC 158539
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descripción: Propionyl glycine is a metabolite of the amino acid L-proline. It is produced by the enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase that converts propionate to propionyl glycine. This reaction is important in energy metabolism, as it provides the cell with a source of carbon for fatty acid synthesis. Propionyl glycine can be used in sample preparation procedures for diagnosis of metabolic disorders, such as propionic acidemia and fatty acid oxidation defects. It can also be used to detect dehydroandrograpolide (DHA), a molecule that has been shown to have antidiabetic activity. The detection sensitivity of propionyl glycine is lower than that of other metabolites, such as methylmalonic acid or ethylmalonic acid, which makes it more suitable for use in diagnostic tests where analytical methods are less sensitive.
