3-Methyl-L-histidine

Research use only not for human use.

3-Methylhistidine belongs to the class of organic compounds known as histidine and derivatives. Histidine and derivatives are compounds containing cysteine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of cysteine at the amino group or the carboxy group or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom.

Histidine and derivatives are compounds containing cysteine or a derivative thereof resulting from reaction of cysteine at the amino group or the carboxy group or from the replacement of any hydrogen of glycine by a heteroatom. It is also a biomarker for the consumption of soy products. 3-Methylhistidine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). 3-Methylhistidine exists in all eukaryotes ranging from yeast to humans. In humans 3-methylhistidine is involved in methylhistidine metabolism. 3-Methylhistidine with regard to humans has been found to be associated with several diseases such as diabetes mellitus type 2 eosinophilic esophagitis and kidney disease; 3-methylhistidine has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder propionic acidemia. The measurement of 3-methylhistidine provides an index of the rate of muscle protein breakdown. 3-Methylhistidine is a product of peptide bond synthesis and methylation of actin and myosin. 3-Methylhistidine is a biomarker for meat consumption especially chicken.
