Definition
Indole-3-acetyl-glycine is also known as iaa-gly. Indole-3-acetyl-glycine is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Indole-3-acetyl-glycine can be found in a number of food items such as pistachio, red rice, star anise, and redcurrant, which makes indole-3-acetyl-glycine a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as n-acyl-alpha amino acids. N-acyl-alpha amino acids are compounds containing an alpha amino acid which bears an acyl group at its terminal nitrogen atom.
