Cannabis Compound Identification
Common NameL-3-Cyanoalanine
DescriptionL-3-Cyanoalanine, also known as L-beta-cyanoalanine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as l-alpha-amino acids. These are alpha amino acids which have the L-configuration of the alpha-carbon atom. L-3-Cyanoalanine is a very strong basic compound (based on its pKa). L-3-Cyanoalanine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Outside of the human body, L-3-Cyanoalanine has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as summer savories, orange bell peppers, red rices, mixed nuts, and green bell peppers. This could make L-3-cyanoalanine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). L-3-Cyanoalanine is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.

General function:
Involved in gamma-glutamyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Initiates extracellular glutathione (GSH) breakdown, provides cells with a local cysteine supply and contributes to maintain intracellular GSH level. It is part of the cell antioxidant defense mechanism. Catalyzes the transfer of the glutamyl moiety of glutathione to amino acids and dipeptide acceptors. Alternatively, glutathione can be hydrolyzed to give Cys-Gly and gamma glutamate. Isoform 3 seems to be inactive.
