Metabolite Identification
Common NameN-Methylproline
DescriptionN-Methylproline is a secondary amine and a derivative of proline, classified as an amino acid metabolite. Its chemical structure features a methyl group attached to the nitrogen atom of proline, which influences its biochemical pathways. N-Methylproline is involved in various metabolic processes, including mediating associations between gut microbiota, such as Bacteroides salyersiae, and conditions like bladder cancer (BCa), accounting for significant effects in mediation analyses (PMID:40937009 ). It also plays a role in the dietary context, where it has been linked to potassium intake and various serum metabolites (PMID:40067387 ). In inflammatory conditions, N-methylproline has shown a mediated effect in uveitis related to specific gut microbiota (PMID:39686482 ). Furthermore, its levels are indicative of dietary impacts on collagen metabolism, with lower concentrations suggesting reduced collagen breakdown (PMID:37369569 ). In clinical studies, associations between N-methylproline and blood pressure regulation have been observed, particularly in dietary interventions (PMID:37161796 ). Additionally, it is correlated with hepatic injury biomarkers, suggesting its involvement in metabolic remodeling (PMID:37023648 ). Overall, N-methylproline serves as a significant metabolite within various biochemical and physiological contexts.
