Metabolite Identification
Common Name5-Methoxyindoleacetate
Description5-Methoxyindoleacetate, also known as 5-methoxy-IAA or 5-MIAA, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as indole-3-acetic acid derivatives. Indole-3-acetic acid derivatives are compounds containing an acetic acid (or a derivative) linked to the C3 carbon atom of an indole. 5-Methoxyindoleacetic acid is formed through oxidative deamination. It is identified in the urine, and the concentration is determined to be 1.3 µg/mL using GC-MS (PMID: 12908946 ). An increase in urinary 5-MIAA excretion was shown in patients with cancer of the stomach, rectum, and lung (PMID: 2446428 ).

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in O-methyltransferase activity
Specific function:
Isoform 1 catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group onto N-acetylserotonin, producing melatonin (N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine). Isoform 2 and isoform 3 lack enzyme activity.
