描述
(r)-b-aminoisobutyric acid, also known as (R)-3-amino-2-methylpropanoate or D-3-amino-isobutanoate, belongs to beta amino acids and derivatives class of compounds. Those are amino acids having a (-NH2) group attached to the beta carbon atom. Thus, (r)-b-aminoisobutyric acid is considered to be a fatty acid lipid molecule (r)-b-aminoisobutyric acid is soluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). (r)-b-aminoisobutyric acid can be found in a number of food items such as sapodilla, avocado, pineapple, and chinese broccoli, which makes (r)-b-aminoisobutyric acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products (r)-b-aminoisobutyric acid can be found primarily in feces (r)-b-aminoisobutyric acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
