NameN(pros)-methyl-L-histidine
SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
Description3-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. 3-Methylhistidine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). 3-Methylhistidine exists in all eukaryotes, ranging from yeast to humans.
