Chemical Information
FooDB NameN-Methyl-alpha-aminoisobutyric acid
DescriptionN-Methyl-a-aminoisobutyric acid, also known as 2-(methylamino)isobutyrate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alpha amino acids. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). N-Methyl-a-aminoisobutyric acid has been detected, but not quantified in, a few different foods, such as anatidaes (Anatidae), chickens (Gallus gallus), and domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica). This could make N-methyl-a-aminoisobutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on N-Methyl-a-aminoisobutyric acid.
