Identification
Common NameMethylimidazole acetaldehyde
ClassSmall Molecule
DescriptionMethylimidazole acetaldehyde belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-substituted imidazoles. These are heterocyclic compounds containing an imidazole ring substituted at position 1. Methylimidazole acetaldehyde is possibly soluble (in water) and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Methylimidazole acetaldehyde exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Methylimidazole acetaldehyde participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, Methylimidazole acetaldehyde can be biosynthesized from 1-methylhistamine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme amine oxidase [flavin-containing] a. In addition, Methylimidazole acetaldehyde can be converted into methylimidazoleacetic acid; which is catalyzed by the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase, dimeric nadp-preferring. In cattle, methylimidazole acetaldehyde is involved in the metabolic pathway called the histidine metabolism pathway.
