Common Name2-Oxo-3-phenylpropanoic acid (Mixture oxo and keto)
DescriptionPhenylpyruvic acid, also known as keto-phenylpyruvate or a-ketohydrocinnamate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylpyruvic acid derivatives. Phenylpyruvic acid derivatives are compounds containing a phenylpyruvic acid moiety, which consists of a phenyl group substituted at the second position by an pyruvic acid. Phenylpyruvic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Phenylpyruvic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Within humans, phenylpyruvic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, phenylpyruvic acid and L-glutamic acid can be biosynthesized from L-phenylalanine and oxoglutaric acid; which is mediated by the enzyme aspartate aminotransferase, cytoplasmic. In addition, phenylpyruvic acid can be biosynthesized from L-phenylalanine through the action of the enzyme L-amino-acid oxidase. In humans, phenylpyruvic acid is involved in the metabolic disorder called tyrosinemia type 3 (tyro3). Phenylpyruvic acid is a potentially toxic compound. Phenylpyruvic acid, with regard to humans, has been found to be associated with the diseases such as primary biliary cirrhosis; phenylpyruvic acid has also been linked to the inborn metabolic disorder phenylketonuria. High levels of phenylpyruvic acid can be found in the urine of individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), an inborn error of metabolism. Individuals with PKU tend to excrete large quantities of phenylpyruvate, phenylacetate and phenyllactate, along with phenylalanine, in their urine. PKU is due to lack of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), so that phenylalanine is converted not to tyrosine but to phenylpyruvic acid. Metabolites of this transamination reaction include phenylacetate, Phenylpyruvic acid and phenethylamine. Thus, excessive levels of phenylalanine significantly decrease the levels of other LNAAs in the brain. The neural-development effects of PKU are primarily due to the disruption of neurotransmitter synthesis. A "musty or mousy" odor of skin, hair, sweat and urine (due to phenylacetate accumulation); and a tendency to hypopigmentation and eczema are also observed. 2-Oxo-3-phenylpropanoic acid (Mixture oxo and keto) is expected to be in Cannabis as all living plants are known to produce and metabolize it.

General function:
Involved in cell surface binding
Specific function:
Pro-inflammatory cytokine. Involved in the innate immune response to bacterial pathogens. The expression of MIF at sites of inflammation suggests a role as mediator in regulating the function of macrophages in host defense. Counteracts the anti-inflammatory activity of glucocorticoids. Has phenylpyruvate tautomerase and dopachrome tautomerase activity (in vitro), but the physiological substrate is not known. It is not clear whether the tautomerase activity has any physiological relevance, and whether it is important for cytokine activity.
