CAS: 30411-84-8

Ref. 3D-FBA41184

Product Information

• Name: 2-(Carbamoylamino)-4-(methylsulfanyl)butanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(Carbamoylamino)-4-(methylsulfanyl)butanoic acid is the substrate for the enzyme l-amino acid oxidase, which catalyses the oxidation of L-amino acids to α-keto acids and ammonia. This activity is dependent on sodium carbonate as a cofactor, pH, and metal ion (e.g., zinc). The optimum temperature for this reaction is 60°C. The kinetic constant for this reaction was determined by measuring the rate at different concentrations of 2-(carbamoylamino)-4-(methylsulfanyl)butanoic acid.2-(Carbamoylamino)-4-(methylsulfanyl)butanoic acid has been shown to inhibit the production of malondialdehyde in rat liver mitochondria.
