Identification
Common Name4-Acetamidobutanoic acid
ClassSmall Molecule
Description4-Acetamidobutanoic acid, also known as N4-acetylaminobutanoate or N-acetyl-4-aminobutyric acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma amino acids and derivatives. These are amino acids having a (-NH2) group attached to the gamma carbon atom. 4-Acetamidobutanoic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 4-Acetamidobutanoic acid exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
