Metabolite Identification
Common Name6-Carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin
Description6-Carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pterin carboxylates. These are heterocyclic aromatic compounds containing a pterin moiety, in which one ring is substituted by one or more carboxylic acid groups. Pterin is a heterocyclic compound composed of a pteridine ring system (made up of a pyrazine fused to a pyrimidine), with a keto group and an amino group at the 2- and 4- positions, respectively. 6-Carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin is a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). 6-Carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. These are heterocyclic aromatic compounds containing a pterin moeity, in which one ring is substituted by one or more carboxylic acid groups.
