Indolyl-3-acryloylglycine, also known as trans-indolyl-3-acryloylglycine, or IAG for short, is a compound consisting of an indole group attached to an acrylic acid moiety, which is in turn attached to a glycine molecule. This compound has been shown to isomerize when exposed to light.[1] It is likely a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of tryptophan,[2] and is synthesized from tryptophan via indolepropionic acid and indoleacrylicacid (IAcrA). It is also likely that IAcrA is converted into IAG in the gut wall.[3] It may also be produced by certain elements of the mammalian gut microbiota by phenylalanine ammonia-lyase.[4] Identifiable in the urine by high-performance liquid chromatography, it may be a biomarker for autism spectrum disorders, as demonstrated by the research of Paul Shattock[5][6][7] and other researchers from Australia.[8] These researchers have reported that urinary levels of IAG are much higher in autistic children than in controls; however, other researchers have found no association between IAG concentrations in the urine and autism.[9] Its excretion in the urine may also be changed in Hartnup disease and celiac disease,[10] as well as photodermatosis, muscular dystrophy, and liver cirrhosis.[11]
