Acetamidopropanal (BioDeep_00000012123)

描述信息

Acetamidopropanal is associated with urea cycle and metabolism of arginine, proline, glutamate, aspartate and asparagine. Induction of SSAT typically gives rise to growth inhibition or apoptosis, depending upon the cell type and the extent of enzyme overexpression. In such experiments, growth inhibition has been closely linked to depletion of intracellular polyamine pools ( 12) and disturbances in polyamine metabolism ( 13), whereas apoptosis has been associated with downstream events emanating from polyamine oxidase-mediated oxidation of acetylated polyamines and the associated release of oxidatively reactive by-products such as hydrogen peroxide and the aldehyde, 3-acetamidopropanal.
Acetamidopropanal, also known as N-(3-oxopropyl)acetamide or 3aap, is a member of the class of compounds known as alpha-hydrogen aldehydes. Alpha-hydrogen aldehydes are aldehydes with the general formula HC(H)(R)C(=O)H, where R is an organyl group. Acetamidopropanal is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Acetamidopropanal can be found in a number of food items such as passion fruit, cloves, irish moss, and calabash, which makes acetamidopropanal a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Acetamidopropanal exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
