Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Acetyl-tyramine
DescriptionN-Acetyl-tyramine is a metabolite classified within the phenolic compounds, specifically a derivative of the amino acid tyrosine. This compound is formed through the acetylation of tyramine, which is a naturally occurring monoamine. In the context of biochemical pathways, N-acetyl-tyramine plays a role in the metabolism of catecholamines and may influence various physiological processes. Notably, it has been identified as a biomarker in biomedical research; for instance, N-acetyl-tyramine-O-glucuronide (NATOG) has been reported in human urine samples, demonstrating its potential as a tool for tracking treatment progression in medicated patients compared to those receiving placebo. Furthermore, NATOG has been shown to monitor disease burden effectively in a jird model, highlighting its relevance in both clinical and experimental settings (PMID:30141624 ). The study of N-acetyl-tyramine and its derivatives may provide insights into metabolic disorders and therapeutic monitoring, underscoring its significance in both chemistry and biology.
