Acetamidopropanal
Definition
Acetamidopropanal is associated with urea cycle and metabolism of arginine, proline, glutamate, aspartate and asparagine. Induction of SSAT typically gives rise to growth inhibition or apoptosis, depending upon the cell type and the extent of enzyme overexpression. In such experiments, growth inhibition has been closely linked to depletion of intracellular polyamine pools ( 12) and disturbances in polyamine metabolism ( 13), whereas apoptosis has been associated with downstream events emanating from polyamine oxidase-mediated oxidation of acetylated polyamines and the associated release of oxidatively reactive by-products such as hydrogen peroxide and the aldehyde, 3-acetamidopropanal.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha-hydrogen aldehydes. These are aldehydes with the general formula HC(H)(R)C(=O)H, where R is an organyl group.
