Metabolite Identification
Common Name2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid
Description2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic 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-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is a mild and phenolic tasting compound. 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within american cranberries (Vaccinium macrocarpon) and olives (Olea europaea). 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as coffee and coffee products, alcoholic beverages, robusta coffees (Coffea canephora), arabica coffees (Coffea arabica), and fruits. This could make 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic 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.
