Definition
Iminoaspartic acid, also known as iminosuccinate or iminoaspartate, belongs to dicarboxylic acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are organic compounds containing exactly two carboxylic acid groups. Thus, iminoaspartic acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule. Iminoaspartic acid is slightly soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Within the cell, iminoaspartic acid is primarily located in the cytoplasm (predicted from logP). Iminoaspartic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dicarboxylic acids and derivatives. These are organic compounds containing exactly two carboxylic acid groups.
