Metabolite Identification

Common Name

(2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid

Description

(2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid, also known as b-hydroxyethoxyacetate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids are compounds containing a carboxylic acid group with the formula -C(=O)OH. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on (2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). (2-hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically (2-Hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
