Definition
L-glutamic acid 5-phosphate, also known as L-gamma-glutamyl-5-P or (2s)-2-amino-5-oxo-5-(phosphonooxy)pentanoic acid, belongs to glutamic acid and derivatives class of compounds. Those are compounds containing glutamic acid or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of glutamic acid at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. L-glutamic acid 5-phosphate is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). L-glutamic acid 5-phosphate can be found in a number of food items such as black huckleberry, muskmelon, purslane, and elderberry, which makes L-glutamic acid 5-phosphate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. L-glutamic acid 5-phosphate exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
