Definition
Indole-3-acetyl-tryptophan is also known as iaa-trp. Indole-3-acetyl-tryptophan is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Indole-3-acetyl-tryptophan can be found in a number of food items such as giant butterbur, cassava, skunk currant, and mulberry, which makes indole-3-acetyl-tryptophan a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-alpha amino acids. N-acyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom.
