Metabolite Identification
Common NameL-Histidine
DescriptionL-Histidine, also known as H, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as histidine and derivatives. Histidine and derivatives are compounds containing cysteine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of cysteine at the amino group or the carboxy group, or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. L-Histidine exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa) molecule. L-Histidine exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. L-Histidine participates in a number of enzymatic reactions, within cattle. In particular, beta-Alanine and L-histidine can be biosynthesized from carnosine; which is catalyzed by the enzyme Beta-ala-his dipeptidase. Furthermore, L-Histidine and beta-alanine can be converted into carnosine through the action of the enzyme carnosine synthase 1. Finally, beta-Alanine and L-histidine can be biosynthesized from carnosine through the action of the enzyme Beta-ala-his dipeptidase. In cattle, L-histidine is involved in a couple of metabolic pathways, which include the histidine metabolism pathway and the beta-alanine metabolism pathway. L-Histidine is a potentially toxic compound. L-Histidine has been found to be associated with several diseases known as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, perillyl alcohol administration for cancer treatment, pyridoxamine 5-prime-phosphate oxidase deficiency, and epilepsy; also l-histidine has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including maple syrup urine disease.
