Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Histidinol
DescriptionL-Histidinol, also known as histidol or HSO, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aralkylamines. These are alkylamines in which the alkyl group is substituted at one carbon atom by an aromatic hydrocarbyl group. L-Histidinol is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). L-Histidinol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans.
