6-Hydroxymelatonin Glucuronide (CAT: C000227) is a metabolite of Melatonin, a hormone primarily produced by the pineal gland that plays a crucial role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythms. After being synthesized in the pineal gland, melatonin undergoes various metabolic processes in the liver, leading to the formation of metabolites like 6-Hydroxymelatonin Glucuronide. Glucuronidation is a common phase II metabolic pathway in which glucuronic acid is conjugated to the parent compound, resulting in increased water solubility and facilitating its excretion from the body.
