Metabolite Identification
Common Name2-Hydroxyphenethylamine
Description2-Hydroxyphenethylamine is a biogenic amine belonging to the class of phenethylamines. Its chemical structure features a phenethylamine backbone with a hydroxyl group at the 2-position of the aromatic ring, which contributes to its reactivity and biological activity. This compound is involved in various metabolic pathways, including those related to amino acid metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis. Notably, it has been identified in studies examining the biochemical composition of food products, such as duck meat, where its levels increase with storage time alongside other nitrogen-containing compounds (PMID:31892851 ). Additionally, 2-Hydroxyphenethylamine has been linked to metabolic changes in specific patient populations, showing significantly higher abundance in individuals with APC mutations compared to controls, indicating its potential role in metabolic profiling and disease association (PMID:31892851 ). Overall, 2-Hydroxyphenethylamine serves as an important metabolite in both food chemistry and clinical research contexts.
