Description

5-Aminovaleric acid is believed to act as a methylene homologue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and functions as a weak GABA agonist.


Solid


5-aminopentanoic acid is a delta-amino acid comprising pentanoic acid with an amino substituent at C-5; a methylene homologue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) that is a weak GABA agonist. It has a role as a human metabolite. It is a delta-amino acid and an omega-amino fatty acid. It derives from a valeric acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 5-aminopentanoate. It is a tautomer of a 5-aminopentanoic acid zwitterion.
