Description

(S)-2-Amino-4-(aminooxy)butanoic acid is an amino acid that is a component of proteins, and it plays a role in the metabolism of glutamate, which is an excitatory neurotransmitter. It has been shown to have antibiotic activity against gram-positive bacteria. This amino acid also participates in the synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which plays an important role in brain function. The enzyme aminotransferase activity can be inhibited by this amino acid, as well as by plant compounds such as canaline and proton. The cell nucleus contains many copies of this amino acid that are involved in DNA replication and repair.
