Metabolite Identification
Common NameMorin
DescriptionMorin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as flavonols. Flavonols are compounds that contain a flavone (2-phenyl-1-benzopyran-4-one) backbone carrying a hydroxyl group at the 3-position. Thus, morin is considered to be a flavonoid. Morin is a bitter tasting compound. Morin is found, on average, in the highest concentration within strawberries (Fragaria X ananassa). Morin has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as redcurrants (Ribes rubrum), bilberries (Vaccinium myrtillus), blackcurrants (Ribes nigrum), fruits, and european cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos). This could make morin a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Morin 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 Morin.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups
Specific function:
UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isoform glucuronidates bilirubin IX-alpha to form both the IX-alpha-C8 and IX-alpha-C12 monoconjugates and diconjugate. Is also able to catalyze the glucuronidation of 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, 1-hydroxypyrene, 4-methylumbelliferone, 1-naphthol, paranitrophenol, scopoletin, and umbelliferone.
