Metabolite Identification
Common Namecis-Aconitic acid
Descriptioncis-Aconitic acid, also known as cis-aconitate or acid, acontic, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as tricarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are carboxylic acids containing exactly three carboxyl groups. cis-Aconitic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. In humans, cis-aconitic acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called the glutaminolysis and cancer pathway. cis-Aconitic acid is a bland tasting compound. cis-Aconitic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within milk (cow). cis-Aconitic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as french plantains (Musa X paradisiaca), yams (Dioscorea), horseradishes (Armoracia rusticana), sweet potatos (Ipomoea batatas), and persimmons (Diospyros). This could make cis-aconitic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. cis-Aconitic 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 cis-Aconitic acid.

General function:
Involved in metabolic process
Specific function:
Iron sensor. Binds a 4Fe-4S cluster and functions as aconitase when cellular iron levels are high. Functions as mRNA binding protein that regulates uptake, sequestration and utilization of iron when cellular iron levels are low. Binds to iron-responsive elements (IRES) in target mRNA species when iron levels are low. Binding of a 4Fe-4S cluster precludes RNA binding.
