PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
Alpha-(methylamino)isobutyric acid is a non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid that is isobutyric acid in which the alpha-hydrogen has been replaced by a methylamino group. It has a role as a human urinary metabolite. It is an alanine derivative, a non-proteinogenic alpha-amino acid and a secondary amino compound. It is functionally related to an isobutyric acid. It is a conjugate acid of a N-methyl-aminoisobutyrate zwitterion.
