Molecule Identification

Common Name

DL-Aminobutyric acid

Definition

Dl-aminobutyric acid, also known as butyrine or homoalanine, is a member of the class of compounds known as alpha amino acids. Alpha amino acids are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Dl-aminobutyric acid is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Dl-aminobutyric acid can be found in peanut, which makes dl-aminobutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product.
