Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Histidine
DescriptionL-Histidine, also known as histidina, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as histidine and derivatives. Histidine and derivatives are compounds containing cysteine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of cysteine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. In humans, L-histidine is involved in the methylhistidine metabolism pathway. L-Histidine is a bitter and odorless tasting compound. L-Histidine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as beluga whales (Delphinapterus leucas), milk (cow), and casein and in a lower concentration in corn grits, yams (Dioscorea), and jutes (Corchorus olitorius). L-Histidine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as horned melons (Cucumis metuliferus), sesame oil, european cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos), kumquats (Fortunella), and roselles (Hibiscus sabdariffa). This could make L-histidine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. L-Histidine 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 L-Histidine. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). D-histidine is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically D-Histidine 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.
