Metabolite Identification
Common NamePhenylglyoxal
DescriptionPhenylglyoxal is a member of the chemical class known as Phenylacetaldehydes. These are compounds containing a phenylacetaldehyde moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an acetalydehyde. It contains both an aldehyde and a ketone functional group. It is yellow liquid when anhydrous but readily forms a colorless crystalline hydrate. It has been used as a reagent to modify the amino acid, arginine. It is a substrate for the enzyme HcHA or Glyoxylse III. This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of methylglyoxal (MG) to D-lactate in a single glutathione (GSH)-independent step. It can also use phenylglyoxal as substrate and generate phenylactate.
