Definition
S-ureidoglycine is a member of the class of compounds known as N-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids. N-carbamoyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an carbamoyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. S-ureidoglycine can be found in a number of food items such as green vegetables, spinach, millet, and japanese pumpkin, which makes S-ureidoglycine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as oligopeptides. These are organic compounds containing a sequence of between three and ten alpha-amino acids joined by peptide bonds.
