Description
(aminooxy)acetic acid is a member of the class of hydroxylamines that is acetic acid substituted at postion 2 by an aminooxy group. It is a compound which inhibits aminobutyrate aminotransferase activity in vivo, resulting in increased levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid in tissues. It has a role as a nootropic agent, an EC 4.2.1.22 (cystathionine beta-synthase) inhibitor, an EC 2.6.1.19 (4-aminobutyrate--2-oxoglutarate transaminase) inhibitor and an anticonvulsant. It is an amino acid, a member of hydroxylamines and a monocarboxylic acid. It is a conjugate acid of an (aminooxy)acetate.
