Descrizione

3-Mercaptopropionic acid is a byproduct of the metabolic process where glutamate, a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, is broken down into 3-mercaptopropionic acid and pyruvic acid. It is known to have synergic effects with other compounds such as fluorescence probes. 3-Mercaptopropionic acid also reacts with glycol ethers to form stable 3-mercaptopropionate esters. This reaction is catalyzed by enzymes such as alcohol dehydrogenase and acetyltransferases. The enzyme activity can be measured using an electrochemical detector. 3-Mercaptopropionic acid can be found in human serum, wastewater treatment plants, and chlorophyll A. It has been shown to inhibit the production of glutathione reductase in human erythrocytes when exposed to light. This inhibition may be due to its ability to induce oxidative stress or damage cell membranes through its protonation properties.
