Imidazole-4-acetic acid Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Imidazoleacetic acid is an endogenous ligand that stimulates imidazole receptors.

Definition

ChEBI: Imidazol-4-ylacetic acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is acetic acid in which one of the methyl hydrogens has been replaced by an imidazol-4-yl group. It has a role as a mouse metabolite. It is a monocarboxylic acid and a member of imidazoles. It is functionally related to an acetic acid. It is a conjugate acid of an imidazol-4-ylacetate. It is a tautomer of an imidazol-5-ylacetic acid and a 2H-imidazol-4-ylacetic acid.
