A GABA derivative and hydrolysis product of the industrial solvent, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. Biologically it is a product of nicotine catabolism in bacteria and inhibits L-Carnitine from undergoing β
-oxidation in mammals. It is commonly found in skin products to prevent wrinkles. | [Definition]
ChEBI: 4-(methylamino)butyric acid is a gamma-amino acid comprising that is GABA in which one of the hydrogens attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a methyl group. It is functionally related to a butyric acid and a gamma-aminobutyric acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 4-(methylamino)butyrate. It is a tautomer of a 4-(methylamino)butyric acid zwitterion. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
