Metabolite Identification
Common Name(S)-2-Azetidinecarboxylic acid
Description(S)-2-Azetidinecarboxylic acid belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon) (S)-2-Azetidinecarboxylic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans (S)-2-Azetidinecarboxylic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, common beets (Beta vulgaris) and red beetroots (Beta vulgaris var. rubra). This could make (S)-2-azetidinecarboxylic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods (S)-2-Azetidinecarboxylic acid is a secondary metabolite. Secondary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically non-essential metabolites that may serve a role as defense or signalling molecules. In some cases they are simply molecules that arise from the incomplete metabolism of other secondary metabolites. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on (S)-2-Azetidinecarboxylic acid.
