Application

Biological Role:

Metabolic Pathway: 5-Aminovaleric acid is an intermediate in the metabolism of certain amino acids, particularly valine. It can be produced through the transamination of glutamic acid or glutamine, and its conversion into other bioactive molecules plays a role in maintaining metabolic balance.
It is also associated with the metabolism of short-chain fatty acids in both humans and microorganisms.

Research in Neurotransmitter Systems:

Some studies suggest that 5-Aminovaleric acid might be involved in the GABAergic system. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, and 5-AVA can be converted into GABA in some organisms.
This pathway could make 5-AVA relevant in research related to neurodegenerative diseases or anxiety, where the modulation of GABA levels is of particular interest.

Role in Plant and Microbial Metabolism:

In plants, 5-Aminovaleric acid has been observed as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of certain alkaloids or other secondary metabolites. Some studies have suggested its involvement in the production of plant hormones or defense compounds.
