Usage

General Description

2-Amino-2-(3-methylpyridin-4-yl)acetic acid, also known as Methylhistidine, is a naturally occurring amino acid primarily found in skeletal muscle tissues. It is a derivative of the amino acid histidine and is commonly used as a marker for muscle protein turnover. Methylhistidine levels are often used in clinical studies to assess muscle catabolism and turnover rates. Additionally, it has been linked to the consumption of meat, particularly red meat, and is often used as a biomarker for dietary intake of certain food groups. Methylhistidine has also been studied for its potential role in physiological processes such as muscle metabolism, and its levels can be influenced by various factors including age, sex, and certain diseases.
