Identification
Common Name3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde
ClassSmall Molecule
Description3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde belongs to the class of organic compounds known as methoxyphenols. Methoxyphenols are compounds containing a methoxy group attached to the benzene ring of a phenol moiety. 3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde is possibly soluble (in water) and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. 3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, 3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde can be biosynthesized from normetanephrine through its interaction with the enzyme amine oxidase [flavin-containing] a. In addition, 3-Methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde can be biosynthesized from metanephrine; which is mediated by the enzyme amine oxidase [flavin-containing] a. In cattle, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycolaldehyde is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tyrosine metabolism pathway.
