Metabolite Identification
Common NameDL-2-Aminooctanoic acid
DescriptionDL-2-Aminooctanoic acid, also known as a-aminocaprylate or alpha-aminocaprylic 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). DL-2-Aminooctanoic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica), and milk (cow). This could make DL-2-aminooctanoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. DL-2-Aminooctanoic 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 small amount of articles have been published on DL-2-Aminooctanoic acid.
