Chemical Information
NameUreidosuccinic acid
DescriptionUreidosuccinic acid, also known as carbamyl-L-aspartate or L-ureidosuccinate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as aspartic acid and derivatives. Aspartic acid and derivatives are compounds containing an aspartic acid or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of aspartic acid at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. Ureidosuccinic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Ureidosuccinic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. ureidosuccinic acid can be biosynthesized from carbamoyl phosphate and L-aspartic acid; which is catalyzed by the enzyme cad protein. In humans, ureidosuccinic acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called the canavan disease pathway. Outside of the human body, Ureidosuccinic acid has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as chervils, agars, cabbages, swamp cabbages, and safflowers. This could make ureidosuccinic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. The L-enantiomer N-carbamoylaspartic acid.
