CAS: 107-97-1
Molecular formula: C3H7NO2
Formula Weight: 89.09
Description:
Sarcosine, also known as N-methylglycine, is an intermediate product and the by-product in the synthesis of glycine and degradation. Sarcosine dehydrogenase is metabolized by the enzyme sarcosine to glycine while glycine N-methyltransferase generated sarcosine glycine. Sarcosine is a naturally occurring amino acid found in muscle and other body tissues. In the laboratory, it may be synthesized from chloroacetic acid and methylamine. Sarcosine is naturally present as an intermediate in the metabolism of choline to glycine. Sarcosine is sweet in taste and dissolves in water. It is used in the production of biodegradable surfactants and toothpastes, as well as in other applications.
Sarcosine is ubiquitous in biological materials and in foods such as egg yolks, turkey, ham, vegetables, legumes, etc ..
