ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionDehydroascorbic acid, also known as dehydroascorbate or dhaa, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as gamma butyrolactones. Gamma butyrolactones are compounds containing a gamma butyrolactone moiety, which consists of an aliphatic five-member ring with four carbon atoms, one oxygen atom, and bears a ketone group on the carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom. Dehydroascorbic acid is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Dehydroascorbic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Norepinephrine and dehydroascorbic acid can be biosynthesized from dopamine and ascorbic acid through its interaction with the enzyme dopamine beta-hydroxylase. In cattle, dehydroascorbic acid is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tyrosine metabolism pathway.
