描述
D-Pipecolic acid is a normal human metabolite found in human biofluids. Normal adults excrete pipecolic acid primarily as the D-enantiomer even though it is present in the blood stream mainly as the L-enantiomer. It is believed that D-Pipecolic acid originates from the metabolism of intestinal bacteria and from dietary sources. High levels of D-Pipecolic acid are not found in plasma, but they are increased in urine of patients with chronic liver disease. (PMID: 6501504, 6490790, 11719476, 8398594) [HMDB]
