Definition
Indole-3-glycerol phosphate, also known as c1-(3-indolyl)-glycerol 3-phosphate, is a member of the class of compounds known as 3-alkylindoles. 3-alkylindoles are compounds containing an indole moiety that carries an alkyl chain at the 3-position. Indole-3-glycerol phosphate is slightly soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Indole-3-glycerol phosphate can be found in a number of food items such as german camomile, lambsquarters, other soy product, and hazelnut, which makes indole-3-glycerol phosphate a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. Indole-3-glycerol phosphate may be a unique E.coli metabolite.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 3-alkylindoles. 3-Alkylindoles are compounds containing an indole moiety that carries an alkyl chain at the 3-position.
