Metabolite Identification
Common NameEthylphosphate
DescriptionEthylphosphate, also known as MEP, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monoalkyl phosphates. These are organic compounds containing a phosphate group that is linked to exactly one alkyl chain. Ethylphosphate exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to plants to humans. Ethylphosphate has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make ethylphosphate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Ethylphosphate.
