Product Information

• Name: 1-Methylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid hydrochloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-Methylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid hydrochloride is a betaine. Betaines are intermediates in the biosynthesis of phosphocholine, which is an important component of all cell membranes. 1-Methylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid hydrochloride has been analyzed and quantified in fruits and plants such as beets, bananas, oranges, and tomatoes. It can be found in the roots of plants and has been shown to inhibit abiotic stress. This compound is also present in the human body as a result of its ingestion from food sources. 1-Methylpiperidine-4-carboxylic acid hydrochloride inhibits proline synthesis by competing with glycine for the enzyme choline acetyltransferase. It also inhibits synthesis of pipecolic acid (a precursor for histamine) by competing with glycine for the enzyme choline acetyltransferase.
