Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Pipecolic acid
DescriptionD-Pipecolic acid is a normal human metabolite found in human biofluids. Normal adults excrete pipecolic acid primarily as the D-enantiomer even though it is present in the blood stream mainly as the L-enantiomer. It is believed that D-pipecolic acid originates from the metabolism of intestinal bacteria and from dietary sources. High levels of D-pipecolic acid are not found in plasma, but they are increased in urine of patients with chronic liver disease (PMID: 6501504 , 6490790 , 11719476 , 8398594 ).
