Overview | allantoic acid, also known as diallylacetic acid, is the final product of purine decomposition in some teleost fish. It is also an intermediate in the decomposition of purines in most fish and amphibians, produced from the hydrolysis of allantoin, which is converted to urea and glyoxylic acid. It is also present in higher plants and is a form of nitrogen storage and transport. |
biological activity | Allantoic acid is a degradation product of uric acid, which is involved in purine metabolism. |
