Definition
ChEBI: Alpha-hydroxyhippuric acid is an N-acyl-amino acid that is N-benzoylglycine substituted by a hydroxy group at C-2. It has a role as a human urinary metabolite. It is a N-acyl-amino acid, a secondary carboxamide and a N-acyl hemiaminal. It is functionally related to a N-benzoylglycine.
General Description
α-Hydroxyhippuric acid, nonpeptidic substrate, forms complex with peptidyl-α-hydroxyglycine α-amidating lyase catalytic core.
