DescriptionIndolylacryloylglycine, also known as IAG or indoleacrylic glycine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-alpha amino acids. N-acyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. Indolylacryloylglycine (IAG) is a compound that is derived, in the same way as many other indole compounds, from tryptophan or indole compounds in the diet. Indolylacryloylglycine is a moderately basic compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, Indolylacryloylglycine has been detected, but not quantified in, milk (cow). This could make indolylacryloylglycine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Indolylacryloylglycine is elevated in the urine of autistic children with gastrointestinal disturbances. It is likely a product of gut metabolism although the exact source is still unclear.
