Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Formylglycine
DescriptionN-Formylglycine, also known as fgly or for-gly-OH, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-formyl-alpha amino acids. N-formyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears a formyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on N-Formylglycine. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). N-formylglycine is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically N-Formylglycine is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
