Description Sarcosine, also known as N-methylglycine or (methylamino)acetic acid, is a member of the class of compounds known as alpha amino acids. Alpha amino acids are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon). Sarcosine is soluble (in water) and a moderately acidic compound (based on its pKa). Sarcosine can be found in peanut, which makes sarcosine a potential biomarker for the consumption of this food product. Sarcosine can be found primarily in most biofluids, including blood, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and feces, as well as in human muscle, prostate and skeletal muscle tissues. Sarcosine exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. In humans, sarcosine is involved in few metabolic pathways, which include glycine and serine metabolism, methionine metabolism, and sarcosine oncometabolite pathway. Sarcosine is also involved in several metabolic disorders, some of which include homocystinuria-megaloblastic anemia due to defect in cobalamin metabolism, cblg complementation type, hyperglycinemia, non-ketotic, hypermethioninemia, and dimethylglycine dehydrogenase deficiency. Moreover, sarcosine is found to be associated with sarcosinemia. Sarcosine is a non-carcinogenic (not listed by IARC) potentially toxic compound.
