Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameGlycolaldehyde
DescriptionGlycolaldehyde, also known as 2-hydroxyethanal or 2-OH-acetaldehyde, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as short-chain aldehydes. These are an aldehyde with a chain length containing between 2 and 5 carbon atoms. Glycolaldehyde is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Glycolaldehyde exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. The glycolaldehyde derived from ethylene glycol. In humans, glycolaldehyde is involved in vitamin B6 metabolism. Outside of the human body, Glycolaldehyde has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as yellow pond-lilies, broccoli, muskmelons, common beets, and angelica. This could make glycolaldehyde a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Glycolaldehyde is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in sulfotransferase activity
Specific function:
Sulfotransferase that utilizes 3'-phospho-5'-adenylyl sulfate (PAPS) as sulfonate donor to catalyze the sulfate conjugation of many hormones, neurotransmitters, drugs and xenobiotic compounds. Sulfonation increases the water solubility of most compounds, and therefore their renal excretion, but it can also result in bioactivation to form active metabolites. Sulfates hydroxysteroids like DHEA. Isoform 1 preferentially sulfonates cholesterol, and isoform 2 avidly sulfonates pregnenolone but not cholesterol.
Gene Name:
SULT2B1
Uniprot ID:
O00204
Molecular weight:
39598.595
General function:
Involved in transferase activity, transferring hexosyl groups
Specific function:
UDPGT is of major importance in the conjugation and subsequent elimination of potentially toxic xenobiotics and endogenous compounds. This isoform glucuronidates bilirubin IX-alpha to form both the IX-alpha-C8 and IX-alpha-C12 monoconjugates and diconjugate. Is also able to catalyze the glucuronidation of 17beta-estradiol, 17alpha-ethinylestradiol, 1-hydroxypyrene, 4-methylumbelliferone, 1-naphthol, paranitrophenol, scopoletin, and umbelliferone.
