Metabolite Identification
Common NameD-Alanine
DescriptionD-Alanine, also known as D-ala or (R)-alanine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as alanine and derivatives. Alanine and derivatives are compounds containing alanine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of alanine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. D-Alanine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). D-Alanine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. D-Alanine, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with several diseases such as late-onset preeclampsia and early preeclampsia; D-alanine has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder propionic acidemia.
