Metabolite Identification
Common Name2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid
Description2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid belongs to the class of organic compounds known as hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives. Hydroxybenzoic acid derivatives are compounds containing a hydroxybenzoic acid (or a derivative), which is a benzene ring bearing a carboxyl and a hydroxyl groups. 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within garden onions (Allium cepa). 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as garden onion (var.), green onion, onion-family vegetables, red onion, and welsh onions (Allium fistulosum). This could make 2,4,6-trihydroxybenzoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 2,4,6-Trihydroxybenzoic acid.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups
Specific function:
UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isoform glucuronidates bilirubin IX-alpha to form both the IX-alpha-C8 and IX-alpha-C12 monoconjugates and diconjugate. Is also able to catalyze the glucuronidation of 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, 1-hydroxypyrene, 4-methylumbelliferone, 1-naphthol, paranitrophenol, scopoletin, and umbelliferone.

General function:
Involved in glycine N-acyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Mitochondrial acyltransferase which transfers an acyl group to the N-terminus of glycine and glutamine, although much less efficiently. Can conjugate numerous substrates to form a variety of N-acylglycines, with a preference for benzoyl-CoA over phenylacetyl-CoA as acyl donors. Thereby detoxify xenobiotics, such as benzoic acid or salicylic acid, and endogenous organic acids, such as isovaleric acid.
