Metabolite Identification
Common NameMethylene
DescriptionMethylene, also known as carbene or CH2(2.), belongs to the class of organic compounds known as saturated hydrocarbons. These are hydrocarbons that contains only saturated carbon atoms, which are linked to one another through single bonds. These includes alkanes and cycloalkanes. In humans, methylene is involved in the glycine and serine metabolism pathway. Methylene is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Methylene. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Methylene is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Methylene is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
