Definition
ChEBI: An alpha-amino acid that is adipic acid bearing a single amino substituent at position 2. An intermediate in the formation of lysine.
Biochem/physiol Actions
DL-2-Aminoadipic acid (AAA) is a six-carbon homolog of glutamate and a gliotoxic compound. It is generally used to considerably reduce the number of astroglia in cerebellar cultures that acts as a model to study the mechanisms of a-aminoadipic acid induced glial toxicity.
Purification Methods
Crystallise the acid from H2O. Alternatively purify it by precipitating the Cu salt and decomposing
