Molecule ID: 105089

IUPAC Name: (2S)-2-amino-3-(methylamino)propanoic acid

Description: The molecule is a non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid that is L-alanine in which one of the methyl hydrogens is replaced by a methylamino group. A non-proteinogenic amino acid produced by cyanobacteria, it is a neurotoxin that has been postulated as a possible cause of neurodegenerative disorders of aging such as Alzheimer's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/parkinsonism-dementia complex (ALS-PDC) syndrome of Guam. It has a role as a neurotoxin and a bacterial metabolite. It is a secondary amino compound, a non-proteinogenic L-alpha-amino acid, a L-alanine derivative and a diamino acid.
