Hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 3 (HCA<sub>3</sub>) was recently identified in the genomes of humans and other hominids but not in other mammals. We examined the production of HCA<sub>3</sub> ligands by <i>Bifidobacterium</i> spp. In addition to 4-hydroxyphenyllactic acid, phenyllactic acid (PLA), and indole-3-lactic acid (ILA), we found that LeuA was produced by <i>Bifidobacterium</i> as an HCA<sub>3</sub> ligand. The four ligands produced were the mixtures of enantiomers, and D-ILA, D-PLA, and ...[more]
