Chemical Information
NameD-2-Aminobutanoic acid
DescriptionConstituent of seedlings of Glycine max (soybean), Dolichos lablab (hyacinth bean), Canavalia gladiata (swordbean), Arachis hypogaea (peanut), Pisum sativum (pea), Phaseolus vulgaris (kidney bean) and Vigna sesquipedalis (asparagus bean) after hydrolysis alpha-Aminobutyric acid (AABA) is an isomer of the amino acid aminobutyric acid. It is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of ophthalmic acid or ophthalmate. D-2-Aminobutanoic acid is found in many foods, some of which are nuts, common pea, yellow wax bean, and pulses.
