Metabolite Identification
Common NameIndoleacetaldehyde
DescriptionIndoleacetaldehyde belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-alkylindoles. 3-alkylindoles are compounds containing an indole moiety that carries an alkyl chain at the 3-position. Indoleacetaldehyde is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Indoleacetaldehyde exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Indoleacetaldehyde participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Indoleacetaldehyde can be biosynthesized from tryptamine through the action of the enzyme kynurenine 3-monooxygenase. In addition, Indoleacetaldehyde can be converted into indoleacetic acid; which is catalyzed by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase, mitochondrial. In cattle, indoleacetaldehyde is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tryptophan metabolism pathway.
