MeSH Heading: 4-Aminobenzoic Acid
Tree Number(s): D02.241.223.100.050.500.640; D02.455.426.559.389.127.020.937.640
Unique ID: D010129
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D010129
Scope Note: An aminobenzoic acid isomer that combines with pteridine and GLUTAMIC ACID to form FOLIC ACID. The fact that 4-aminobenzoic acid absorbs light throughout the UVB range has also resulted in its use as an ingredient in SUNSCREENS.
