3-Methylhistidine (3-MH) is a post-translationally modified amino acid which is excreted in human urine.[1][2] Urinary concentration of 3-methylhistidine is a biomarker for skeletal muscle protein breakdown in humans who have been subject to muscle injury.[1][3][4] Urinary 3-methylhistidine concentrations are also elevated from consumption of soy-based products and meat, particularly chicken.[1]

Biochemistry

3-Methylhistidine is a metabolic product that is produced in the body via the enzymatic methylation of histidine during peptide bond synthesis and the methylation of actin and myosin.[1][2]

Detection in body fluids

The normal concentration of 3-methylhistidine in the urine of healthy adult humans has been detected and quantified in a range of 3.63–69.27 micromoles per millimole (μmol/mmol) of creatinine, with most studies reporting the average urinary concentration between 15–20 μmol/mmol of creatinine.[1] The average concentration of 3-methylhistidine in human blood plasma has been detected and quantified at 2.85 micromolar (μM) with a range of 0.0–5.9 μM.[1] The average concentration of 3-methylhistidine in human cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been detected and quantified at 3.82 μM with a range of 1.39–6.25 μM.[1]
