Definition
Adenylylselenate, also known as adenosine-5'-phosphoselenate or adenylylselenic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as purine ribonucleoside monophosphates. Purine ribonucleoside monophosphates are nucleotides consisting of a purine base linked to a ribose to which one monophosphate group is attached. Adenylylselenate is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Adenylylselenate can be found in a number of food items such as oregon yampah, common persimmon, savoy cabbage, and mandarin orange (clementine, tangerine), which makes adenylylselenate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Adenylylselenate exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, adenylylselenate is involved in the selenoamino acid metabolism.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as purine ribonucleoside monophosphates. These are nucleotides consisting of a purine base linked to a ribose to which one monophosphate group is attached.
