Suberylglycine

Suberylglycine is an organic compound detected in urine that may indicate fatty acid oxidation disorders, particularly related to medium- and long-chain fat metabolism. Presence of suberylglycine suggests your body may have difficulty properly breaking down certain dietary fats. This finding can be associated with genetic metabolic disorders that affect energy production and require dietary management. This test is typically ordered as part of newborn screening or when metabolic disorders are suspected.
