Metabolite Identification
Common NameTert-butyl hydroperoxide
Descriptiontert-butyl hydroperoxide, also known as dimethylethyl hydroperoxide or TBHP, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as organic hydroperoxides. These are organic compounds comprising the hydroperoxide functional group, with the general formula [O-O]2-. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on tert-butyl hydroperoxide. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Tert-butyl hydroperoxide is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Tert-butyl hydroperoxide 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.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in glutathione peroxidase activity
Specific function:
Could play a major role in protecting mammals from the toxicity of ingested organic hydroperoxides. Tert-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide and linoleic acid hydroperoxide but not phosphatidycholine hydroperoxide, can act as acceptors.
