Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Phenylalanine
Description(±)-Phenylalanine, also known as F, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylalanine and derivatives. Phenylalanine and derivatives are compounds containing phenylalanine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of phenylalanine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom (±)-Phenylalanine is an odorless tasting compound (±)-Phenylalanine is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as red bell peppers (Capsicum annuum), wheats (Triticum), and oats (Avena sativa) and in a lower concentration in carp breams (Abramis brama), common lings (Molva molva), and rainbow smelts (Osmerus mordax) (±)-Phenylalanine has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as oil palms (Elaeis), ucuhubas (Virola surinamensis), lard, cocoa butter, and beer. This could make (±)-phenylalanine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods (±)-Phenylalanine 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 (±)-Phenylalanine. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). D-phenylalanine is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically D-Phenylalanine 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.

Enzymes

General function:
Not Available
Specific function:
Catalyzes the oxidative deamination of D-amino acids. Has broad substrate specificity; is mostly active on D-proline, and to a lesser extent, on several other D-amino acids such as D-alanine, D-phenylalanine and D-serine. Mediates electron transport from D-proline to coenzyme Q1 in vitro, and is involved in the electron transport chain from D-proline to the c-type cytochrome in vivo.
