Metabolite Identification
Common Name4-Deoxythreonic acid
Description4-Deoxythreonic acid, also known as 4-deoxythreonate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as sugar acids and derivatives. Sugar acids and derivatives are compounds containing a saccharide unit which bears a carboxylic acid group. 4-Deoxythreonic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make 4-deoxythreonic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 4-Deoxythreonic acid 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 4-Deoxythreonic acid.
