Descriptor beta-alanina
Entry term(s) ácido 3-aminopropiónico
Scope note: Aminoácido formado in vivo por la degradación del dihidrouracilo y la carnosina. Al haberse demostrado la captación neuronal y la sensibilidad receptora neuronal a la beta-alanina, el compuesto puede ser un transmisor falso, sustituto del ÁCIDO GAMMA AMINOBUTÍRICO. Se ha descrito un trastorno genético infrecuente conocido como hiper-beta-alaninemia.

RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D015091
Scope note: An amino acid formed in vivo by the degradation of dihydrouracil and carnosine. Since neuronal uptake and neuronal receptor sensitivity to beta-alanine have been demonstrated, the compound may be a false transmitter replacing GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID. A rare genetic disorder, hyper-beta-alaninemia, has been reported.
