Metabolite Identification
Common NameImidazole-4-acetaldehyde
DescriptionImidazole-4-acetaldehyde belongs to the class of organic compounds known as imidazoles. Imidazoles are compounds containing an imidazole ring, which is an aromatic five-member ring with two nitrogen atoms at positions 1 and 3, and three carbon atoms. Imidazole-4-acetaldehyde is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Imidazole-4-acetaldehyde exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Imidazole-4-acetaldehyde participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Imidazole-4-acetaldehyde can be converted into imidazoleacetic acid; which is catalyzed by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase, mitochondrial. In addition, Imidazole-4-acetaldehyde can be biosynthesized from histamine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme amiloride-sensitive amine oxidase [copper-containing]. In cattle, imidazole-4-acetaldehyde is involved in the metabolic pathway called the histidine metabolism pathway.
