Metabolite Identification
Common NameHomomethionine
DescriptionHomomethionine (CAS: 6094-76-4) 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). Homomethionine is possibly neutral. Homomethionine has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as lima beans, red huckleberries, catjang pea, Chinese chestnuts, and pepper (C. annuum). This could make homomethionine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Homomethionine is found in brassicas and is isolated from cabbage and horseradish.
