General description
L-Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid is a non-protein amino acid and teratogenic agent. It is toxic in nature.
Application
L-Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid has been used as a:
- collagen synthesis inhibitor
- protein folding antagonist
- as a standard in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry
Biochem/physiol Actions
Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid (AZC) triggers protein aggregation or upregulates the expression of an aggregation-prone mutant protein, upon interference with nascent protein folding.
L-Azetidine-2-carboxylic acid is an inhibitor of collagen synthesis that is anti-angiogenic. It is a four-membered ring analog of L-proline that causes protein misconstruction when incorporated instead of proline.
