Acetylvaline

Acetylvaline is an amino acid derivative belonging to the N-acetylated amino acid family. Acetylvaline can be detected in small quantities in the urine of healthy individuals but shows significantly abnormal excretion in the urine of patients with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) . Acetylvaline can be used to detect MSUD[1][2].
